Author Jane Friedman Calls for Guardrails on Generative AI and Verification of Authorship on Amazon

Jane Friedman, an author and professor, has been unsuccessful in getting Amazon to remove books falsely attributed to her from their website. She believes the books were generated using AI and were listed without her consent. Despite reporting the issue to Amazon, the company refused to remove the books without a trademark registration number. Friedman has called for measures to be put in place to verify authorship and prevent fraudulent books from being credited to them. The AMPTP negotiations collapsed due to the need for guardrails on generative AI, leading to a strike by members of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA.
