AI and Technical Communication
Thursday, 25 April 2024; 2:00 to 3:00 PM Eastern time
A presentation and discussion about the ways AI might impact the technical communication profession, including the ways it will improve content for diverse audiences, facilitate collaboration with SMEs, and better anticipate and respond to user needs.
The webinar will specifically focus on how AI might impact two core roles of technical communicators: (1) the creation, editing and publishing of technical documentation; and (2) the development of user interfaces and implementation of usability testing.
Objectives:
Attendees may be anxious about AI replacing technical communication jobs. The true picture is a bit more clouded and uncertain.
This webinar covers a near term approach, which assists technical communicators in figuring how to work with and manage AI.
Attendee Takeaways:
To help attendees understand how AI might impact technical communication in order to better conceptualize, incorporate and manage the technology. Key takeaways: (1) AI will transform technical communication, but is unlikely to replace all workers, at least in the near term, due to ongoing limitations with the technology; (2) new roles for technical communication professionals include managing the integration of AI into the workplace, which will require acquisition of business, strategic, and logistic management skills.
For current CPTC certificants: This webinar provides 2 CEUs for recertification, in the Project Planning, Project Analysis, Content Development, Written Communication, Reviewing and Editing, and Content Management core competency areas.
