In this session, I will share real-world examples of how technical writers are currently using AI to produce documentation. We will discuss the pros and cons of AI, available tools, and how you can integrate AI into your own content development process. I will also share best practices for using AI, methods you can use to accurately evaluate AI's true impact on your process and products, and recommendations for learning more about AI and specifically about integrating AI with technical communication. This is an exciting time for our field--don't get left behind!
