In May, the New York ‘Times’ reported that media entrepreneur Steven Rosenbaum had included “more than a half-dozen misattributed or fake quotes” in his book, “The Future of Truth,” seemingly generated by AI. Rosenbaum had previously acknowledged that he’d used AI tools during the research, writing, and editing process, but the investigation was nevertheless mortifying — for both Rosenbaum and his publisher, Simon & Schuster. The book-publishing industry had already been wrestling with the prospect of a flood of AI-authored texts in the fiction market, and now the Rosenbaum scandal was showing the way AI could blow a hole in the nonfiction sector, too.

Nonfiction publishing is uniquely vulnerable to AI because the industry has long neglected to do anything to ensure the books it publishes are factually accurate. “People outside of the industry don’t understand that, contractually, publishers are not obligated to fact-check,” said Paul Bogaards, who was a longtime executive at Knopf.

Worse, it seems publishers have no idea what to do about this glaring vulnerability. “We don’t have systems in place,” said literary agent Alia Hanna Habib. “For every contract, there is a conversation, and it never really feels like anyone has the right answer,” said one editor at a major publishing house.

Editors, writers, and agents say the problem is likely already rampant. “I feel like everyone is passing off AI work as their own and most of the time don’t say anything about it,” said a senior nonfiction editor at a major publishing house.
