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.

The threat is plain to see – AI writing programs allow budding authors to produce in a matter of day novels that could in the past have taken months or years to write. "Anybody who has ever read 300 words of mine would immediately recognize that it could not possibly be by me." "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.

Artificial intelligence's relationship with publishing threatens to throw up a host of legal problems, with one major "gray area" being who owns copyright of AI-generated content, said fair director Boos.
