AI has no capacity for originality, zero role in literature: Salman Rushdie

Celebrated author Salman Rushdie does not believe AI has any role to play in creative work as it has no capacity for originality. The Booker-winning author spoke about AI before accepting Liberatum's 14th Cultural Honor at a ceremony in London on July 8. "Nothing. Zero," Rushdie told Variety when asked what part AI should play in creative work. "It's not useful to creative work because AI has no capacity for originality. What it can do is suck up enormous amounts of information and produce versions of that. But what it can't do is something nobody's done before. And that's what art is, is to find things people haven't done before. So, I mean I have less than zero interest in AI." "Art at its best is a lot more than entertainment. It's challenging.

Krishnan noted that while existing legal provisions have so far been adequate in addressing initial concerns on issues like deepfakes and AI-generated synthetic content, an "additional regulation or law may be needed".
