Workshop: Using AI-Generated Content to Support the Writing Process

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) writing tools have exploded, both in sophistication and quantity. So, too, perspectives on AI have exploded. Professional communicators of all types should consider how AI can play a role in our work. In this workshop, three university professors discuss AI writing tools, focusing primarily on generative AI, as resources and demonstrate ways these tools can be productively integrated into writing workflows. They also invite discussion about ways AI writing tools can be used to support writers and show how practitioners and educators can responsibly use AI tools as part of the communication process.
