In France, creators face generative AI
Late October 2026, the proliferation of books written or assisted by AI on self-publishing platforms is upending the book sector. Translators then report a drop in income and questioning of their profession, while in the National Assembly a bill on the presumption of use of cultural content by AI providers divides Macronists. Early November, independent publishers demand remuneration and threaten to take the matter to court, then Senator Laure Darcos raises a law reversing the burden of proof in favor of artists in cinema. The SACD defends exploitation rights against AI, the music industry faces fake singers, and graphic designers say they are reduced to correcting automated projects. At the Brive Book Fair, authors express their anger and concern over the plundering of their works by generative AI.
