TLDRAbout 10,000 authors, including notable figures like Kazuo Ishiguro and Philippa Gregory, have published an 'empty' book titled 'Don’t Steal This Book' to protest against AI firms using their work without permission. The book, featuring only a list of the authors' names, is being distributed at the London book fair. The protest comes ahead of the UK government's assessment on the economic impact of proposed changes to copyright law, which has sparked anger among creative professionals about the use of their work by AI firms.
