“Exploring the world: One page turn at a time.” World Book and Copyright Day 2024.
Books have the power to transport us to new worlds, broaden our horizons, and promote open and inclusive societies. For this occasion let’s highlight the Copyright and Related Rights of authors. The UNESCO Regional offices invite students, teachers, and readers from around the world, as well as the whole book industry and library services, to testify and express their love for reading. Activities will include readings of books and plays; the distribution of bookmarks; the announcement of the winners of literary competitions. At UNESCO Headquarters; On avril 23rd, World Book and Copyright Day 2024 a symposium entitled ‘‘Artificial intelligence & publishing: between futuristic promises and current challenges’’ will be held. Initiatives are multiplying, raising crucial questions. What are the levers and challenges of AI in this field?; What practical applications can be envisaged?; How can this technology be effectively integrated into the very fabric of publishing businesses?. All these questions will be at the heart of the debates at the conference. Join us as we explore the intersection between artificial intelligence and publishing, highlighting the essential role of authors and the risks to literary creation.
