The podcast captures an interview with Meru Goklay, founder of Editrix.ai, discussing how artificial intelligence is reshaping the book publishing industry by addressing outdated manual workflows. Goklay explains that her platform was designed to support editors, not replace them, by automating time-consuming technical tasks like developmental and copy editing. The technology utilizes a sophisticated model-agnostic architecture that offers users pre-built workflows, making advanced AI tools easily accessible to non-technical authors and publishing houses. Although the initial introduction of AI faced significant cultural resistance and fear, Goklay notes a recent shift toward adoption, driven by the demonstrated benefits of increased efficiency and decreased editor burnout. Ultimately, she stresses that the goal is to augment human judgment and greatly accelerate a book’s time-consuming path to market, while also calling for governmental regulation to address complex issues such as copyright challenges in generative AI.
