Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen OC_Formula for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, Sept. 10 (AP)-- after months of complaints from writers' associations and other groups, Amazon's first-party publishing platform Kindle Direct Publishing has put forward a new requirement for authors who sell e-books: inform the platform in advance of the proportion of AI-generated content in their works.

Amazon's statement on Sept. 7 requires creators to explain to the platform in advance whether their uploaded content contains or contains how much content generated by AI, including text, images and even translation.

The initiative, designated after months of discussions between the Writers' Association and the leadership, is aimed at preventing the influx of AI-generated books into the platform, replacing human authors, and protecting consumers from unwitting purchases of AI-generated works to ensure transparency and accountability of AI-generated content.

At the same time, Amazon has begun to distinguish between AI-assisted works and AI-led works, but the initial impact of this move may be limited, as Amazon does not mark AI-generated books for the time being. But a spokesman for the company said changes were "likely" in the future.

Earlier this year, Amazon's Kindle e-book platform recently saw a large number of books generated by artificial intelligence (AI), many of which even made the best-seller list, CTOnews.com reported earlier this year, citing TechRadar. The reason is that Amazon Kindle has a self-publishing feature, and anyone can use AI technology to create unlimited books and sell them on the platform.

Amazon Kindle's direct publishing program allows many real authors to present their works to the public without relying on large publishers. The process is very simple, as long as you register and upload books. However, with the progress of technology, AI produces more and more books, and the quality is uneven. Some books are meaningless and confusing.

It is reported that the number of books generated and assisted by AI has increased after the introduction of AI text generators and image generator tools such as ChatGPT and Midjourney. The principle of AI generator is to grab a large number of text and images from the Internet, some of which have not been agreed by the creators.
