Artificial Intelligence and the Art of Reader-Driven Publishing

AI may summon images of robots and false humanoid consciousnesses, but its influence will in fact prove both less glamorous and more pervasive. Technology is often accused of decentralizing systems currently in place, but with publishing, the opposite is true. In the next five years the use of aggregated data will empower the publishing pipeline to allow industry authorities to make more informed and fairer decisions based on what readers want.

Ultimately a data-driven process, rather than producing works of inhuman genius (although that may of course happen too...) will change the industry by empowering readers to drive what type of literature is chosen and released to market in an unprecedented way.
