Write to Inspire: Books & Authors in the Age of AI in Qatar is a publishing-focused programme examining the growing use of artificial intelligence in Qatar and internationally. The 2026 event is the third edition of Qatar National Library’s Write to Inspire: Books and Authors programme.
Authors, publishers and creative professionals will share practical experiences of using AI tools and discuss how these technologies are affecting publishing. The programme considers both the potential uses of AI and the questions raised by its adoption.
Discussion themes
- AI in publishing in Qatar and around the world
- Real experiences of authors, publishers and creative professionals using AI tools
- Ethics and authenticity in AI-assisted work
- Creativity alongside emerging technology
- Opportunities and challenges associated with AI in publishing
- Traditional and digital practices within the publishing sector
The event may suit writers, publishing professionals and other creative practitioners who want to examine AI through industry experience and critical discussion rather than focusing only on the technology itself.
