If you’re a self-published author, you might be asking yourself: “Has AI stolen my book?” With AI and large language models (LLMs) everywhere, it’s natural to worry that your hard work could be used without your consent. Here’s the quick answer to your question. It’s highly unlikely that your book has been copied and used if it is protected by DRM on major retailers such as Amazon or Apple Books. However, if you have distributed free copies of your ebook versions online, it is technically possible they could have been included in a dataset, although the likelihood remains low.
