AI has already reached literature: Medinsky called it a "harsh reality"

The head of the Writers' Union noted the inevitability of changes and the need for the industry to adapt

Artificial intelligence has already become a part of literature – whether one likes it or not. We will have to live with this and learn to build new rules, said Vladimir Medinsky, Assistant to the President of Russia and head of the Writers' Union of Russia.

He noted that technologies are already being used in text creation, regardless of people's attitude towards this process. According to him, the question is no longer whether AI is permissible, but how to interact with it further.

Commenting on possible author checks, Medinsky stated that candidates for membership in the Writers' Union of Russia will be checked for the use of artificial intelligence – if appropriate mechanisms can be developed.

Unfortunately, artificial intelligence is used in literature regardless of what we think about it, its capabilities and expediency. This is a harsh reality with which we must now live and try to build relationships.

Earlier, in early February, the office of Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Grigorenko announced that the government was developing a bill to regulate AI. The document plans to define criteria for domestic neural networks, intellectual property issues, rules for labeling AI content, as well as rights, obligations, and responsibilities when using such technologies in various industries.

It is also proposed to form a unified conceptual apparatus to eliminate ambiguity in interpretations in the field of artificial intelligence.
