How is AI changing jobs in the book publishing sector

How is AI changing jobs in the book publishing sector?

We’re seeing AI tools take over tasks like manuscript editing, cover design, blurb writing, and even marketing.

For people in publishing: Which roles are being replaced vs augmented by AI in your company?

For tech/devs: What AI tools are you building or using specifically for publishers and authors?

Big question: In 5 years, will publishers need fewer people, or just different skill sets?

And what new AI-related jobs are popping up in publishing that didn’t exist 2 years ago?

Would love to hear real examples from both sides.
