The ebook-lending app Libby is introducing AI content controls, allowing readers to opt out of AI-generated content, including books, audiobooks, and art. The move aims to strike a balance between embracing AI’s benefits and addressing concerns over its impact on the publishing industry. Libby’s CEO, Marc DeBevoise, believes AI can add value to content discovery and localization, but acknowledges the need for transparency about how content is created. Why it matters: as AI-generated content becomes increasingly prevalent, Libby’s approach could set a precedent for how the industry navigates the challenges and opportunities of AI-driven publishing.
