Imaginative ideas of futuristic superhuman technology provide endless material for storytelling, inspiring humans to create worlds where the impossible is performed with ease. These ideas, however, once at home in seemingly distant dreams, are moving from fiction into reality as AI continues to take root in common business practices. While the hype surrounding advancementsin AI is often confined to tech fields, many in the creative industries are taking notice as AI-specific terms like Big Data, predictive analytics, and natural language processing become household words. For those companies implementing AI in the right way at the right time, the systems set to disrupt technology-based industries become the very tools with which they’ll climb their way to the top.  \nAs discussions on AI increase, so does the hype—and therefore the confusion—surrounding it. Comprised from the findings of over six months of research, the results of an international survey of ~300 participants, plus interviews and conversations with industry professionals, including many CEOs, editors and representatives across different functions, the following White Paper is a result of the joint effort between Frankfurter Book Fair and management consultancy Gould Finch to demystify AI and help those in the publishing industry (including book publishing, magazines, newspapers and digital publishers) understand its application in business practices by contextualizing the core technologies driving it. Given the varying stages of development of different AI technologies, it is too early to definitively state how they will change the publishing industry–but without question the impact will be immense. This paper outlines the challenges companies are currently facing as they consider how best to implement AI and presents suggestions for where to concentrate efforts and attention to realize the most benefits.  \nTHE KEY FINDINGS ARE:  \nArtificial Intelligence is not going to replace writers, but it is able to strengthen core-business. While there is technology available to mimic tone and craft plausible prose, the narrative arc and a best-seller’s make-up have yet to be reduced to an algorithm. The technology available offers publishers access to an array of new mediums and processes to strengthen areas such marketing and analytics, as well as production and administration.  \nInvesting in Artificial Intelligence doesn’t mean fewer jobs for humans. On the contrary, businesses currently implementing AI, including The Washington Post and Axel Springer as well as smaller publishing houses, have witnessed positive effects on readership statistics and sales, but also better job stability for journalists and writers.  \nMinimal investments can still bring in monetary benefits. Our findings show the correlation between blind fear and modest to no investments when it comes to investing in AI. Though a high percentage of survey participants believe investing large amounts of money too risky without any guaranteed return, evidence suggests that even minimal investments, be it hiring new employees or training current staff who are already adept, can lead to a significant increase in sales. Important to note, is that those who have invested in Artificial Intelligence are happy with their experience and will continue to invest on all levels. Noteworthy is also the growing number of service providers using different AI technologies and offering them as paid services to publishers at reasonable costs, thereby increasing accessibility.  \nOur conclusion is that AI and its future development offer promising opportunities for the publishing industry. Publishing is a people’s business and our study shows that the technology will not replace human interactions within the indu","cbCaisqeKPKUkdlJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisqeKPKUkdlJ","pdf",749106,24,"English","# Executive Summary\n## What is AI?\n## Key Findings for Publishing","[{\"question\":\"Will artificial intelligence replace writers in publishing?\",\"answer\":\"The paper concludes that AI will not replace writers.
