GoKawiilMadras High Court orders probe into alleged AI-generated books at Tamil Nadu library
The Madras High Court has directed Tamil Nadu's anti-corruption agency to investigate claims that a newly opened public library in Coimbatore purchased hundreds of suspected AI-generated books, and to freeze accounts linked to the supplying publisher. The probe follows allegations by novelist Perumal Murugan that nearly 1,800 Tamil-language books at the Periyar Arivulagam library, built at a cost of about $34m, showed signs of dubious authorship, inflated prices and questionable ISBNs.
