The hangout was attended by a diverse group of communication professionals with Librarian, Literary and Visual Storyteller Felene Cayetano; Independent Publishing Expert, Porsche Mysticque Steele; and Creative Writer and Editor, Nana Nyarko Boateng, being the panel.
In her remarks Nana Nyarko Boateng, emphasized the need for communicators to approach generative AI as a tool rather than a substitute for human creativity.
