AI publisher thrown out: “Copyright infringement”

AI-generated audiobooks are accused of copyright infringement – and are being thrown out by Storytel. Behind the distribution is the Spotify-owned audiobook company Findaway.

AI is becoming increasingly important for the book industry. New publishers are now being started that are completely AI-powered, says Storytel’s content manager Helena Gustafsson.

– They only publish literature created and read by AI. That means there will be an incredible number of more titles, and it will be harder to get through the noise, she says.
