0:00.0	Welcome to the Creative Pen podcast. I'm Joanna Penn, thriller author and creative entrepreneur,
0:09.0	bringing you interviews, inspiration and information on writing, publishing options and marketing ideas for your book.
0:17.0	You can find the episode show notes, your free author blueprint and lots more information at
0:23.0	TheCreativepen.com. And that's Penn with a double N. And here's the show.
0:31.1	Hello, creatives. I'm Joanna Penn. And this is episode number 701 of the podcast and it's Friday the 30th of June
0:38.6	23 as I record this. Yes, we're halfway through the year. It's time to revisit your
0:44.7	creative goals and see what you have left to do. I'm certainly doing that. So four years ago
0:51.3	on the 1st of July 2019, I put out a solo episode on nine ways that artificial intelligence, AI, will disrupt authors and the publishing industry in the next decade.
1:05.2	And a lot of my predictions have already happened.
1:08.2	So that is episode 437. If you want to go back and listen, it should be
1:13.8	somewhere on the feed, or you can go to the creative pen.com forward slash podcast. Scroll down to
1:20.1	episode 437 and you can listen or download from there. In today's show, four years on,

1:52.6	meant to be disrupted over the next decade, so between 2019 and 2020. Number one, non-fiction books, blog posts and news articles will be written by AI.
2:06.1	2. Copyright law will be challenged, as books are used to train AIs, which then produce work
2:13.1	in the voice of established authors.
2:16.3	3. Voice synth technology will replace human narrators for mass market audiobook narration.
2:24.6	So those first three are all discussed with Nick, and I've also been obviously talking
2:30.2	about those particular ones in recent episodes, all linked at thecreativepen.com
2:36.2	forward slash future. So those three are coming up.
