Authors Call on Publishers to Limit Their Use of AI

  • On Friday, June 27, more than 70 authors published an open letter in LitHub urging publishers to limit their use of AI in literary operations.
  • The letter followed recent federal rulings that allow AI companies to train models on copyrighted books without authors' consent, intensifying authors' concerns about AI replacing human creators.
  • Authors demanded publishers pledge to never publish AI-generated books made from stolen work, reject using AI tools to replace staff, and only hire human audiobook narrators to protect industry jobs.
  • The letter argues that AI-generated writing lacks value because it is produced with minimal effort and emphasizes that AI cannot genuinely comprehend human experiences or substitute for the creativity of human authors.
  • This action highlights a growing push by authors for stronger safeguards in publishing to counter AI's encroachment and preserve the role of human artists and workers.
