This move comes after complaints from the Authors Guild and others, who feared that AI-generated books could overshadow traditional works and deceive consumers. The Authors Guild sees this as a positive step towards transparency and accountability in AI-generated content. However, Amazon won't publicly identify books with AI material at this time, a policy subject to future revision, according to a CNBC report.
