On 8/24, we will present at the CD Symposium 2023 on the theme of 'Coexistence of TC and Generative AI'

On August 24, 2023 (Thursday), we will present at the CD Symposium 2023 "Coexistence of TC and Generative AI - Creating New Value through Mutual Complementation".

Example

The rapid advancement of AI technology in recent years is particularly notable in the field of text generation. It is expected to have a significant impact on those engaged in technical communication (TC) fields that specialize in writing, translation, and editing.
This presentation will focus on the complementary relationship between technical communicators and generative AI, exploring what kind of symbiosis is possible. Additionally, it will propose practical approaches towards symbiosis and examine the roles and skills that will be required of technical communicators in the future.
