An open letter from a group of prominent authors has called on book publishers to limit their use of artificial intelligence tools. The letter argues that the use of AI is essentially “stealing” the work of human writers, as it is often trained on large datasets of existing books and other written content.
The signatories, including Lauren Groff, Lev Grossman, R.F. Kuang, Dennis Lehane, and Geoffrey Maguire, are urging publishers to pledge not to release any books that have been created solely by machine. They also want them to commit to only hiring human audiobook narrators and not replacing their staff with AI tools or degrading the positions of their employees.
The authors claim that the use of AI is unfair, as they do not receive payment for the data used to train these models. Instead, the companies behind the AI technology profit from this data without giving anything back to the writers who created it.
