A group of prominent authors — including Lauren Groff, Lev Grossman, R.F. Kuang, Dennis Lehane, and Geoffrey Maguire — has issued an open letter urging book publishers to limit their reliance on artificial intelligence tools. The writers are calling for clear commitments to prioritize human creativity, such as pledging to continue hiring real audiobook narrators instead of AI-generated voices.
The letter expresses concern over the exploitation of authors’ work in the development of AI systems: “Our work has been stolen. Rather than receiving even a small share of the profits our writing generates, others are benefiting from technology built on our unpaid labor.”
The authors ask publishers to promise they will never release books produced entirely by AI and to avoid replacing human employees with automated tools or reducing their roles to simply overseeing machines.
According to NPR, more than 1,100 additional writers signed the letter within just 24 hours of its publication — a sign of growing concern across the literary community.
This movement comes as legal battles unfold between authors and tech companies over the use of copyrighted books to train AI models. However, recent federal court rulings have dealt significant setbacks to these lawsuits.
