Just thought I'd post some of my inquiry ideas up here. I've been considering what I would like to further research, and I think I have narrowed it down to two main topics. Firstly, I think it would be interesting to research the benefits and drawbacks of self publishing with respect to traditional publishing. The world seems to become more digitally focused with each passing day, and although the technological takeover of publishing has been incorrectly predicted before, it is still possible that a combination of self publishing and e-sales could drive technologically based publishing solutions to become the norm.
I am also very interested in researching the role of artificial intelligence in the publishing space. I would like to determine in what ways AI is being used now, which I suspect may be primarily to serve book advertisements to internet users. I would also like to explore the idea of AI vs. Editors. Could AI one day come close to providing the same quality editing as a human editor? Do there already exist AIs that could provide editing services? I personally believe that the human element would never be able to be fully replaced, but I think AI could come very close. At the very least, it could be used as a tool offering editors suggestions and providing them more editing power. As a tool in the editor's toolbox, AI could change the publishing world forever.
