New: How Do You Wrangle A Special Issue On AI? – Interview with Stephen Carradini

Hello Everyone,

I’m happy to share the release of a new video on More Than Memos! In this video I talk with Stephen Carradini about the special issue on the effects of AI on Technical Communication that came out this year in the Journal of Business and Technical Communication. We get into Stephen’s professional trajectory toward working on AI-related issues and then discuss how he worked through the editorial process on such a volatile area of research and public discourse. Even though we only have Part 1, it’s a great special issue. I hope this video gives some additional context to the ongoing conversation about AI.

Special thanks to Stephen for donating his time and energy for the interview. Also I want to give HUGE shout out to YoonJi Kim for editing the interview down into meaningful chunks without losing the humanity and heart at the center of it.

We have several videos ready to publish in the coming months! Please like, subscribe, and share our content to support the channel.

Best,

Dan
