- Amazon is testing an AI tool that automatically translates books into other languages www.engadget.com/ai/amazon-is... Translation is a separate bit of Intellectual Property. These translations cannot be protected by copyright law since they were made by AI...
- Therefore any author using this tool to translate has given up their copyright in those languages. www.reuters.com/legal/ai-gen... I don't think Amazon has thought this through...
- Audible came to me with a similar offer of automatic translation but for audiobooks. When I explained the problem to them, they seemed surprised and did nothing to refute my assertion. @janefriedman.com #authorsBeware #copyrightNov 7, 2025 00:17
