Amazon Institutes New Rules Requiring AI Book Disclosures Amidst Growing Concerns

Amazon will now require Kindle publishers to disclose if book content is generated by AI. This comes after complaints about books sold under human author names that contained AI-generated content.

The Authors Guild praised Amazon's new regulation as a "first step" to eliminate AI book content, which they say is unfair to human authors.

Organizations worry Kindle will be flooded with AI books as ChatGPT becomes more widespread, which is also unfair for unaware consumers.

Despite new rules, Amazon won't identify works mostly or entirely AI-written, limiting consumer benefit.

Amazon also won't require publishers to disclose when human-authored content is AI-assisted, only fully AI-generated.
