Some people say that publishing has already been disrupted, that this current state is the new model. But I don’t think the disruption has even started yet. As Jeff Bezos says, “it’s always Day One.”
In the last ten years, we’ve seen the rise of digital publishing, print on demand, and the independent author movement, as well as the growth of streaming audio and the use of internet marketing tools like Facebook and Amazon Ads to sell more books.
In this episode, I'll talk about some of the possible disruptions to come for authors and the publishing industry due to the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the next 10 years.
Here’s the overview and then I’ll go into each one in details as well as how to react to these changes. These are in no particular order.
1) Non-fiction books, blog posts, and news articles will be written by AI
2) Copyright law will be challenged as books are used to train AIs which then produce work in the voice of established authors
3) Voice synth technology will replace human narrators for mass market audiobook narration
4) Voice search will disrupt text-based SEO and if you don’t have voice content, you will be invisible.
5) Translation will be performed by AI — for books as well as other content
6) Content will explode exponentially, and AI discoverability and marketing tools will help navigate the tsunami
7) AI-augmented creativity will develop and more people will want to be writers
8) Print publishing will shift into a green, sustainable model with AI-assisted micro-print-on-demand
9) Expansion of mobile reading + micropayments enabled by 5G mobile and blockchain technology + four billion new people online = explosion of reading
