News Corp has struck a controversial deal with former US President Donald Trump to publish an AI-generated sequel to his 1987 memoir, The Art of the Deal. The announcement has ignited discussions about the role of artificial intelligence in creative industries and the ethical implications of leveraging AI for commercial gain.
A New Chapter in Publishing
The forthcoming book, tentatively titled The Art of the Deal: The AI Edition, will be authored using advanced language models trained on Trump's speeches, interviews, and previous writings. While the exact details remain under wraps, insiders suggest the AI will emulate Trump's distinctive rhetorical style.
Mixed Reactions
Critics argue that the project undermines genuine authorship, with some calling it a "ghostwritten gimmick". Supporters, however, claim it represents an innovative fusion of technology and legacy publishing. "This is the future of content creation," said a News Corp spokesperson.
Ethical Concerns
Legal experts question whether AI can truly capture the nuance of human experience, while ethicists warn about setting dangerous precedents in intellectual property. The book's release date hasn't been confirmed, but it's expected to hit shelves before the 2024 US election cycle.
