AI has emerged as a tool the world has embraced, and consequently, has become a headache for writers and publishers everywhere. This presentation offers an open and interactive discussion forum to teach the pros and cons of AI while laughing about how we’ll all eventually be replaced by talking toasters. Most importantly, it provides useful tools and advice on how to use AI as a creative tool for writing projects without crossing ethical boundaries.
Andrew Buckley is a film school-educated writer, which means he’s spent most of his life with no money and a strong opinion about bad movies. Around the turn of the century he attended the Vancouver Film School’s Writing for Film and Television program, graduating with excellence. Today, he’s a traditional and self-published novelist of rather silly, yet enjoyable speculative fiction for all ages, a comic book writer, screenwriter, podcaster, creator, and speaker.
For over 20 years, he’s worked in the dreaded world of marketing as a content creator, copywriter, and strategist for large national and international brands. He actively develops curriculum and teaches marketing, social media, and communication theory at the post-secondary level.
As a writer, Andrew favors playing in the fantasy and paranormal sandboxes and has a terrible habit of writing with a humorous and satirical slant despite being asked politely on numerous occasions to ‘please stop doing that’.
Andrew speaks to thousands of students each year, all over the world, about storytelling and writing through the delivery of interactive and engaging workshops and presentations at schools, colleges, writing conferences, teacher conferences, and comic cons.
At the time you’re reading this, he’s likely busy working on several new projects and attempting to bend time and space to allow for more hours in the day. He now lives happily in the Okanagan Valley, BC with a multitude of characters that dwell comfortably inside of his mind.
Andrew is represented by Terrie Wolf of AKA Literary Management.
