Leveraging AI Tools in Small Organizations: Strategies for Success

AI seems like one of those things that might be best left to the big guys– the sheer complexity of projects, the uncertain future, and the additional work on an already stretched team–but these panelists will show specific ways they are using and creating AI tools to benefit their audiences. Even small organizations have opportunities to engage with AI and these leaders show how their teams chose which projects to pursue, found partners, and adopted an agile approach to beta and launch. Adopting a customer-centric focus to identify gaps in the offerings, finding a niche problem that needs solving, and integrating these tools with other offerings are some of the ways leaders can ensure AI adoption doesn't derail their teams, but instead can motivate them to adopt a curious, problem-solving approach to answering the question, "how can AI serve small societies and publishers?" Mixed-learning: Includes both applied and strategic perspectives on an issue; appropriate for those with at least some experience of the subject area seeking a mix of immediate/practical and future/planning information.

"Inflection Point: Setting the Course for the Future of Scholarly Communication" Huge growth in proposals and publications, a greater focus on researchers as both author and reader, evolving open access publishing models, and the urgent need for equity and inclusion are disrupting traditional publishing infrastructure and processes. In addition, the explosive capabilities of artificial intelligence will likely disrupt every facet of scholarly communication, but represent both opportunities and threats. We are at an inflection point—our decisions will determine both the value we deliver as an industry, as well as the values we reflect as a community.
