In this NYSE Live interview, Yehuda Niv, Founder and CEO of Spines, discusses how artificial intelligence is reshaping publishing, helping authors accelerate book production, expand global reach, and navigate the modern publishing landscape.

Kristen Scholer spoke with Niv about publishing innovation, author empowerment, audiobooks, multilingual publishing, AI technology, and business growth.

A significant portion of the discussion focuses on Spines' recent funding round and how the company plans to invest in platform expansion, technology development, and author acquisition.

The interview also explores the challenges facing aspiring authors. Traditional publishing pathways remain highly competitive and often inaccessible for many writers seeking to reach readers.

Another major theme is the use of artificial intelligence to streamline publishing workflows. Tasks such as editing, formatting, design coordination, translation, and audiobook production can increasingly be supported by advanced technologies.

The conversation further examines how Spines enables authors to publish works across multiple formats, including print, digital, and audio editions.

The interview also highlights the platform's growing author community and the increasing demand for self-directed publishing solutions.

Another key topic is multilingual publishing. Authors can extend the reach of their content through translation services designed to connect with additional audiences around the world.

The discussion also explores the rapidly expanding audiobook market and the role AI technologies may play in helping creators participate in that growth.

Additionally, Niv discusses voice-cloning and audiobook creation tools that allow authors to create content across different languages and formats more efficiently.

The conversation further examines the economics of publishing and how technology may reduce cost barriers that historically limited participation.

Another focus is author retention and recurring publishing activity, with many writers returning to publish additional works through the platform.

The interview also highlights Niv's entrepreneurial journey, beginning with his own experiences as an author and leading to the creation of businesses focused on modernizing publishing.

Looking ahead, Niv expects artificial intelligence to continue transforming how books are produced, distributed, marketed, translated, and consumed around the world.

Throughout the discussion, Niv shares perspectives on publishing technology, artificial intelligence, author services, content creation, digital media, audiobooks, entrepreneurship, creator platforms, multilingual publishing, and industry innovation.
