AI-Assisted Authoring: Hype vs. Reality – Ensuring Consistency and Compliance

AI promises to revolutionize content creation, but in regulated industries like digital pathology, the reality is more complex. This workshop will cut through the hype to explore how AI can assist in structured authoring without compromising consistency, compliance, or content reuse. Attendees will gain practical insights into AI-assisted workflows that support content governance rather than disrupt it.

In this session, attendees will learn:

• Human Oversight is Non-Negotiable: AI-generated content in regulated industries must always undergo rigorous human review before publication.
  
•  AI as a Consistency Enforcer, Not a Disruptor: AI can help maintain uniformity in terminology and structured authoring rather than introducing variation.
  
• AI in Structured Authoring Workflows: How AI can assist to reinforce structured content strategies.
  
• Challenges and Pitfalls: Recognizing AI limitations, including hallucination risks and regulatory constraints.
  
• Practical AI Experiments: Real-world examples of AI-assisted content workflows and how attendees can experiment in their own organizations.
