Thomas Cox Managing Director, arq works
A balanced and well thought through analysis of the influence that AI will have on publishing and already has. It is well grounded in research and every page makes clear that an expert of this industry was at work here. It strikes an appreciable balance between hype, hope, and fear.
Martin Pichlmair CEO, Laika
It is refreshing to read such a positive response to AI that seeks to combine the new technology with the best of past traditions. Nadim superbly addresses both the many revenue opportunities and the industry’s fears in a way that is fully coherent to the layman.
Rick Mayston Literary & Media Agent, Managing Director, Agent Fox Media
Nadim offers an optimistic and clear-eyed look at the benefits and opportunities afforded to agencies and marketers by the arrival of LLMs and other AI technologies. There are lessons here not just for publishers, but everyone in marketing grappling with our new world.
