An AI's Novella Passes First Round of Japanese Literary Contest

Join us live at Entrepreneur's Accelerate Your Business event series in Chicago or Denver. But the time may come soon since an AI recently impressed judges of a Japanese literary prize. The novella, The Day a Computer Writes a Novel, was co-written and edited by a team of humans. The story itself follows a computer program as it recognizes its talent for writing and leaves behind its preprogrammed duties. Initially, the book was included in the group of 11 AI-authored submissions allowed to enter the contest for the Hoshi Shinichi Literary Award, according to Smithsonianmag.com.
