FRANKFURT, Germany: From low-quality computer-written books flooding the market to potential copyright violations, publishing is the latest industry to feel the threat from rapid developments in artificial intelligence.

Since the launch last year of ChatGPT, an easy-to-use AI chatbot that can deliver an essay upon request within seconds, there have been growing worries about the impact of generative AI on a range of sectors.Among book industry players there is 'a deep sense of insecurity', said Juergen Boos, director of the Frankfurt Book Fair, the world's biggest, where the topic was in focus last week.

'It depends a bit on the genre,' said Susanne Barwick, deputy legal adviser of the German Publishers and Booksellers Association, who has been in discussion about AI with publishers.'The field of science and specialist books is already further along and has already dealt with it more.'These areas were 'easier than the field of fiction, where I think at the moment people still tend to look a bit more at the risks', she added.
