What the petition asks
Ensure that publishers printing and selling books written using artificial intelligence declare, on the cover, that AI was used and include the percentage of AI written material.
We think with the advent of AI it will become very difficult for human author to get a publishing contract. Yet, there is nothing to stop publishers writing books using AI, conjuring a human name for the "author" and selling it as a genuine work of art.
I am asking that you make it law that if a publisher or printer writes a book in part or whole using AI; they have to declare the usage on the cover, including the percentage of AI written material.
