The Society of Authors issued a statement supporting the Charter of Ethical AI Use, which outlines standards for companies that employ artificial intelligence in publishing. The charter calls for transparency about AI involvement, explicit consent from creators, and clear licensing arrangements for any AI‑generated content.
In response to growing concerns over AI‑authored material, independent publisher Books By People launched a Human Authorship label. The label is intended to signal to readers that a work was created without the assistance of AI, reinforcing the value of traditional authorial craft.
Both moves reflect a broader industry debate about how to balance technological innovation with the rights and recognition of human creators.
