  • AI can significantly increase productivity by automating repetitive tasks, analyzing research, reformatting content, and allowing experts to focus on their core expertise.
  • There are ethical and legal concerns around AI-generated content, such as potential biases, stolen training data, privacy issues, and questions of authorship and intellectual property.
