Author alarmed to find name on fraudulent AI-generated books sold online

Jane Friedman joins'America's Newsroom' to discuss new concerns after she discovered books generated by artificial intelligence were being sold under her name on Amazon. Writer Jane Friedman is urging authors to police their name and how it's being used online after she discovered several books written by artificial intelligence being sold under her name. "Certainly bad actors can steal my name and apply it to anything they want much more easily than they've ever been able to before," Friedman told Fox News' Bill Hemmer on Monday. "So this was an instance of someone using Amazon's self-publishing platform to upload AI-generated books and then put my name on them. It doesn't really matter what their real name is. They're allowed to put whatever they want."
