The Authors Guild, the largest and oldest professional organisation for writers in the United States, is teaming with a new startup, Created by Humans, to help writers license rights to their books to artificial intelligence (AI) companies.
The partnership, announced Wednesday, comes as authors and publishers are wrestling with the rapid incursion of artificial intelligence into the book world. The internet is already flooded with books generated by AI, and sophisticated chatbots can instantly generate detailed summaries of books and spew out material in the voice and style of popular writers.
