Amazon Requires Disclosure for AI-Generated Kindle Books
-
Amazon requires Kindle self-publishers to declare if content is AI-generated. New rules state authors must inform Amazon if Kindle books are created by AI tools.
-
AI-generated content is defined as text, images or translations created fully by AI tools. AI-assisted content had human involvement but was refined by AI.
-
In August, Amazon removed suspected AI books falsely listed as written by author Jane Friedman.
-
Amazon says it is "monitoring the impact of generative AI" and aims to provide the "best possible experience" for authors and customers.
-
The Society of Authors welcomed the rules but wants transparency on all Kindle books and the ability for customers to filter out AI content.
