67 Bricks and Bone & Joint have been shortlisted for this year’s ALPSP Innovation Award in Publishing for their AI-generated podcast series ‘AI Talks with Bone & Joint’.
The tool seamlessly converts static research PDFs into lively and engaging podcasts, accurately summarising a paper’s findings. The podcasts give the Bone & Joint community a new way to keep up-to-date with the latest articles while multitasking, enabling them to discover which content they may wish to dive into further and in more detail.
The tool itself was developed in a matter of weeks and has significantly reduced the time and effort from Bone & Joint staff to scale up podcast production, supporting the ongoing needs of their time-poor users.
The podcast is presented by two AI-generated hosts, who talk conversationally through the research findings in a single paper. The tools’ UI has been built to give the Bone & Joint team oversight of the input and generated content, keeping a human ‘in-the-loop’ and safeguarding the content’s accuracy and integrity.
Since the launch, the feedback from authors and listeners has been incredibly positive, for example:
“Brilliant. I was thinking this summarizes our papers better than I often do when creating a presentation. I thought the content was well constructed and conclusions appropriate.”
“I appreciate the innovative approach you’re taking to make journal content more accessible and engaging for the orthopaedic community.”
“The podcast sounds very natural and professional. The content is accurate and it is presented in a very easy going manner. I wouldn’t change a thing.”
The winners of the ALPSP awards will be announced at their annual conference in September.
