Artificial Intelligence is fast becoming an essential dimension of InDesign publishing workflows. Rather than replacing designers, AI will actually empower them to conquer design and content challenges.
Join Olav Martin Kvern, author of Real World InDesign, and Max Dunn, CEO of Silicon Publishing, as they present real-world examples of this exciting new trend. From the AI features built into InDesign already, to current ways InDesign can be extended with AI, to a preview of what the future may hold, this presentation will offer valuable insights into present and emerging design technologies.
