AI technologies are everywhere, and many writers can't wait to explore their potential to elevate the creative process.

Is the ethical use of AI even possible for a writer? Multidisciplinary artist and writer, Vas Littlecrow Wojtanowicz, will teach folks committed to using their authentic voice, how to use AI as a labor-saving collaborator, rather than as a soulless content generator, without infringement or creative laziness.For more information visit: rosemountwritersfestival.com
