One of South Korea's leading publishing societies has unveiled a set of AI guidelines aimed at safeguarding the credibility of books in an age dominated by artificial intelligence. The Korea Publisher Society's principles focus on maintaining human responsibility and roles in the publishing process, particularly concerning the proliferation of "click-to-publish" books.
These guidelines mark the industry's first effort to create an AI-related framework.
