Kinga Jentetics, CEO of digital publishing platform PublishDrive, is a Forbes 30 under 30 entrepreneur who divides her time between the company and teaching on Google Campus. PublishDrive are revolutionising how authors and publishers market their books through their development of Savant, the in-house artificial intelligence that reads books and then creates the most effective metadata for marketing them. AI is also being used by companies like Wattpad to spot the best books for TV adaptation based on their structure, and the race for the first AI-written bestselling novel is well underway. Kinga will be in conversation with Dan Holloway, news editor for the Alliance of Independent Authors, talking about where in the publishing world artificial intelligence will take us in the next decade, where it won’t, and where it should and shouldn’t.
