Description du livre
Part of the MONDES CONNECTÉS collection published by Five Minutes, this mini book traces the revolution sweeping the publishing world around 2024-2025. As language models are now able to generate novels, cover art and translations, writers wonder whether they still have a future. Drawing on surveys, data and recent examples, the book explains how AI is disrupting the economics of books, from massive adoption by some authors to unauthorized clones appearing on Amazon. It deciphers the legal stakes (the European AI Act, the fair use debate in the United States, a Beijing court ruling) and the collective initiatives aimed at protecting human creativity. The narrative features emblematic stories, such as Rie Qudan co authoring her prize winning novel with ChatGPT, and offers recommendations on how to reconcile innovation and respect for copyright. Rich in data and testimonies, this text invites readers to reflect on the future of literature and to support responsible use of AI.
