One of South Korea's leading publishing bodies has unveiled a framework of rules for the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) within the industry, in an effort to combat the proliferation of mass-produced books created through AI, commonly known as "click-to-publish" books. The Korea Publisher Society has laid out these principles to maintain the credibility of books in the AI era, by delineating the responsibilities and roles of humans at every stage of the publishing process.
The organization unveiled these guidelines at a publishing and AI policy forum held at Mapo Central Library in Seoul. The new "Principles for the Use of AI by Publishers and Authors for Readers" consist of five chapters and 20 articles. The framework was drafted by a coalition of eleven organizations, including the Korea Publisher Society, the Writers Association of Korea, and the Critics Alliance.
This marks the first instance in the publishing industry's history where such AI-related guidelines have been established. The Korea Publisher Society has stated that this move is intended as a starting point for further initiatives aimed at strengthening systems that protect the rights of authors and publishers.
