A significant development in AI for authors is the introduction of the 'Created by Humans' licensing platform, allowing authors to license their works for AI training in exchange for compensation. This seeks to address concerns of authors whose works have been used without consent in the training of large language models. Additionally, Simon and Schuster launched Simon Maverick, an audiobook imprint targeting successful indie authors who haven't yet produced audiobooks. Substack has also upgraded by adding live streaming capabilities, enabling authors a new way to connect with audiences and market their books more effectively.

The emergence of licensing platforms like 'Created by Humans' represents a vital step in the governance of AI usage. Such initiatives must ensure robust contracts to protect intellectual property rights while allowing for fair compensation. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into the creative process, establishing clear legal frameworks will be essential to navigate authorship and ownership in a digital age.
The growth of platforms that enable authors to monetize their work reflects a shift in market dynamics where creators seek control over their intellectual property. With AI technologies poised for exponential growth, the market potential for services that align AI usage with creators’ rights is substantial. Traditional publishers like Simon and Schuster recognizing the success of indie authors in audiobooks signals a changing landscape, where collaboration may be more beneficial than competition.
