aceEthics and the use of generative AI in professional editing
Abstract Generative artificial intelligence (GnAI) has garnered significant attention worldwide across diverse industries, including in book publishing. To date, more attention has been paid to its potential in creative collaboration and less to the editorial possibilities of its application. Interest has accelerated since the breakthrough of a new Large Language Model in late 2022. This paper engages with the ethical and industrial implications of using GnAI in a creative context, namely literary publishing. It…
Researchers tested GnAI for literary fiction editing by comparing AI edits to professional editor edits across multiple drafts and stages to explore editorial possibilities.
Applying GnAI to literary fiction editing raises unresolved ethical and industrial concerns about intellectual property, trust, the author-editor relationship, and whether core professional editing principles translate to AI.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0389 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
