AI as a tool to writers
This workshop explores how artificial intelligence can serve as a powerful aid in the writing process—not as a replacement for creativity but as a tool to support and enhance your work. Participants will learn how to effectively integrate AI tools across various stages of writing, including conducting research, jumpstarting creativity, editing drafts, and optimising time management. The session will provide practical strategies for maximising the benefits of AI while maintaining authorship and originality. Writers of all levels will gain insights into leveraging these tools to refine their craft and streamline their workflow.
