Poet Peter Mackay wants books to have AI warning labels. He is worried about the damage AI is doing to the book business. He said AI "could be disastrous for new people…in the profession". He said it is now hard to make money as a writer. This is because AI uses "all the knowledge of every book written".

Mr Mackay thinks people should know if AI or a person wrote a book. He said a label on the book could show if a book is "100 per cent AI-free". His idea comes just before the USA refused to sign an agreement on keeping AI "clean". The US said too many controls on AI could "kill" it, "just as it's taking off".
