PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, Md. - Marylandian -- The Prince George's County Chapter of the Maryland Writers Association recently hosted an engaging Zoom presentation, "AI and Authors," featuring author, neuroscientist, and North Baltimore Chapter President David "Dave" Sloan.

As artificial intelligence continues to change the environment in which authors write, edit, research, develop ideas, and manage their creative work, the presentation invited writers into a timely conversation about the relationship between AI and authorship.

Sloan's presentation examined what writers have learned about AI and writing as the fourth anniversary of the release of ChatGPT approaches, with particular attention to how authors may use emerging technologies to increase productivity without compromising artistic integrity.

The program developed into a lively discussion about AI's continuing evolution and its potential role as a resource for writers. Participants considered the many applications that fall under the AI umbrella, the importance of protecting authentic voice, and questions surrounding the future cost and accessibility of emerging technologies.

Sloan brings an unusual interdisciplinary perspective to the subject. He holds a PhD in neuroscience and works as a consultant and project manager in the health care industry. He is also the author of five novels and currently serves as President of MWA's North Baltimore Chapter.

Prince George's County Chapter President Donna Quesinberry hosted the program. Attendees included featured presenter David Sloan, Mark Sandoe, Meena Sahu, Michael Horace, Estrelda Alexander, Lisa Cerbone-Jensen, Heather Howard, and Greg Rosenthal.

The discussion reflected an increasingly important question for today's authors: not simply whether writers will encounter artificial intelligence, but how they can thoughtfully engage with evolving technology while protecting the imagination, judgment, authentic voice, and artistic integrity that remain central to authorship.
