A conference devoted to Book Jobs held on the 5th of May, At the Rabat International Publishing and Book Fair. Information experts shared their experience on how the transformation of books to data changed their roles and responsibilities profoundly.
Can information professions reinvent themselves in the face of the AI revolution?
This question brought together two IT (Information technology) professionals, Elizabeth Lavigueur and Salah Eddine Bahji, who shared their experiences on balancing the preservation of documentation with the need to adapt to a continuously evolving data ecosystem.
The IT experts explained how AI is reshaping the documentary chain itself, from the production to the circulation of information through the automation of tasks that were manual and time-consuming.
This automation accelerated information processing and shifted the nature of the professional work from execution to ensuring the quality and reliability of the information produced by AI systems.
The speakers highlighted that the human factor cannot be replaced in this transformation. Despite technological advancement, the human judgment remains central.
Adding that the success of this transition depends on three essential conditions: awareness of change, willingness to adapt and the capacity to evolve, and these are all human-appropriate elements.
