    "Copyright in the Age of Artificial Intelligence" with Dr. C. Daniel Miller

    In a world increasingly shaped by AI-driven innovation, how do we navigate the complexities of copyright law?

    This presentation explores the intersection of artificial intelligence and intellectual property, addressing pressing questions about authorship, ownership, and accountability.

    Through real-world case studies, legal insights, and ethical perspectives, we will examine the challenges and opportunities AI brings to creative industries.

    Join us as we discuss strategies for creators, businesses, and policymakers to adapt to this rapidly evolving landscape, fostering a fair and innovative future for all.

    "The Invisible Author: How to Get AI to Find, Cite, and Recommend Your Books" with Tanya Brockett

    Nearly 68% of online searches end without a website click. Instead of browsing search results, readers ask AI tools for direct book recommendations.

    I f a reader asks ChatGPT for a historical mystery set in Vermont, will it suggest your book?

    Tanya Brockett reveals the mechanics of modern book discovery. You don't have to write with AI to make these systems your most powerful marketing allies.

    By treating AI tools like digital librarians and making small, strategic formatting shifts to your website and book metadata, you can ensure your books are easily found, trusted, and recommended. Build your digital authority, secure your visibility, and ensure your writing is never left in the dark.

    Key Takeaways:

    • AI Tools Are the New "Digital Librarians" of the Zero-Click Era
    • Feed the Distinct "Personalities" of Different AI Engines
    • Stop Hiding Your Book's Facts Behind Creative Marketing "Fluff"
