READING:
A poet from Scotland wants warnings to be put on books written by artificial intelligence (AI). Peter Mackay is Scotland's national poet. He is worried about the damage AI is doing to the publishing industry. He wants food packaging-style health warnings on AI-generated books. He told the BBC: "I have got huge concerns about AI in terms of the creation of new literature [and] new books, partly because…it could be disastrous for new people…in the profession." He added: "It's [now] very hard to make a living as a writer." This is because AI uses "all the knowledge of every book written".
Mr Mackay wants new books to have a mark that shows whether AI or a person wrote it. The mark could be like those on food labels. Mackay thinks the public needs to know about the level of AI input in a book. He said information could show if a book is "100 per cent AI-free or 100 per cent organically produced". Mackay's idea comes just before the USA and UK refused to sign an agreement on AI to keep it "clean". The US Vice President said too much regulation of AI could "kill a transformative industry just as it's taking off". He said "pro-growth AI policies" were more important than safety.
