Amazon removes King Charles titles reportedly generated by AI

In the UK, Amazon has removed from its website several titles about King Charles, which reportedly were written using artificial intelligence and were said to contain false information about the monarch’s health and cancer diagnosis, reported the Independent.

Metro reported the books were uploaded via Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing self-publishing platform.

A spokesperson for the Palace told the Mail on Sunday the books were ‘intrusive, insensitive and filled with inaccuracies’, and said the Palace’s legal team ‘will be looking at the issue closely’.

An Amazon spokesperson said: ‘While we allow AI-generated content, we don’t allow AI-generated content that violates our content guidelines, including content that creates a disappointing customer experience.’
