A British startup called Books by People has developed a certification mark to identify books written entirely by humans, aiming to restore trust in the publishing industry amidst rising concerns about AI-generated content. The 'organic' stamp, resembling a thumbprint, will be displayed on book covers after publishers pay a fee and submit manuscripts for review. This initiative comes after several scandals involving authors allegedly using AI, leading to canceled book deals and withdrawn novels, prompting fears of a decline in public confidence regarding the authenticity of published works. AI
