New literary prize launched for books ‘written with AI’
The prize targets unpublished French fiction of 10,000 to 50,000 words and requires entrants to disclose the AI tools and prompts used.
- On Wednesday, three French entrepreneurs launched the Prix Pascal, claiming it as the first literary prize for books written with artificial intelligence, honoring mathematician Blaise Pascal.
- The launch follows controversy after Boreal, a Canadian publisher, 'confirmed' debut novelist Thelyson Orelien used artificial intelligence to write his book, leading to his ejection from the Prix Goncourt shortlist.
- Writers worldwide can enter provided submissions are in French and contain between 10,000 and 50,000 words; applicants must also explain which artificial intelligence model and prompts they used.
- While the initiative currently lacks a jury or declared prize money, organizers intend to challenge established competitions like the Caine and Commonwealth, which have faced questions about artificial intelligence involvement.
- Applications opened on Tuesday and will close at the end of November, with organizers planning to select 10 shortlisted manuscripts before announcing the winner in early December.
