Supadu presents the first of 8 talks in our brand new series, Innovators in Publishing. AI is often framed as either a threat or a “quick fix.” Professor Greg Singh cuts through these myths, helping publishers separate fear from reality and approach AI in ways that are thoughtful, ethical, and smart - an approach, not a prescription. Greg Singh is Professor in Media and Society, as well as Programme Director for Digital Media at the University of Stirling, UK. His research interests in media and communications are varied and centre around the way that technologies shape and change the relationships we have with ourselves, with other people, with social institutions, and with the environment. He has given invited talks, conference presentations, and consultation sessions on these topics across the UK, the EU, and internationally. Greg is a published Author.
