Nigerian author Jerry Falade loses $2m book deal over AI allegations
Nigerian author Jerry Falade has lost a reported $2 million publishing deal for his debut crime novel after concerns emerged over whether artificial intelligence (AI) was used in the writing or editing process.
He said the novel had “passed through first readers, second readers, editors, and acquisitions teams at numerous publishing houses … If the manuscript had shown genuine signs of being generated by AI, it is difficult to believe that every one of those experienced professionals would have failed to notice.“During the submission process we vetted the manuscript with Jerry for AI and felt trusting in his reassurance that it was written without utilising AI as a resource in the writing or editorial process.
