ACES is excited to launch its inaugural Spotlight Series this spring, a recurring virtual educational series focusing on topics that are trending in the editing community.

Three learning objectives:

  1. Understand the legalities of using AI when editing.

  2. Clarity about the ethics of using AI when editing.
