Learn how to assess the limitations of AI-generated writing and apply the editorial judgement needed to transform AI output into polished English that is clear, effective, and distinctly your own.
If you've been using AI to draft English content, you've probably noticed that while it's usually grammatically correct, it can also sound generic, wordy, and lacking in personality. The good news is that with a few simple editing techniques, you can transform AI-generated text into writing that is clear, more natural, and unmistakably your own.
In this practical workshop, you'll learn how to spot the tell-tale signs of AI-generated English, understand why they occur, and apply straightforward editing strategies to improve readability and preserve your own voice. After nearly three years of refining AI-generated content for clients on a daily basis, Susan Ring will share the techniques that consistently make the biggest difference.
Who should attend
This workshop is for language professionals who want to understand how AI can be used to write effectively without compromising quality or writing style. Whether you're a translator, interpreter, or other language specialist, you'll learn practical techniques to get better results from AI and produce English that sounds natural and professional.
Why this workshop is relevant and timely
Some language professionals have embraced AI tools while others prefer not to use them. However, clients' use of AI-generated content is increasingly common. Whatever your personal view, the ability to recognise, evaluate, and improve AI-generated English is a valuable professional skill.
This workshop does not advocate using AI or replacing human expertise. Instead, it focuses on helping language professionals identify the weaknesses of AI-generated writing and how to apply the editorial judgement that only a human can provide. Whether you use AI regularly, occasionally, or not at all, you'll leave with practical techniques for producing clear, more natural English and a better understanding of where human expertise adds the greatest value.
Description of workshop content
The workshop will begin with a short introduction, followed by an interactive discussion on the characteristics of AI-generated English and the challenges it presents. Participants will then complete two practical editing exercises, applying the techniques covered during the session. The session will finish with a group discussion to share insights, reflect on learning, and answer any remaining questions.
