SFPA Announces AI Policy

The Science Fiction and Fantasy Poetry Association (SFPA) has banned all works created using generative AI from its publications and awards consideration. The policy was announced in a statement posted to the SFPA website.

The SFPA recognizes and supports the creative talent of human beings. While the organization encourages creative exploration of new tools, we can not support the use of tools built on the exploitation of other people’s creative work without their consent or compensation.

The organization’s policy was decided by a member vote. For more information, see the full statement and policy on the SFPA website.

While you are here, please take a moment to support Locus with a one-time or recurring donation. We rely on reader donations to keep the magazine and site going, and would like to keep the site paywall free, but WE NEED YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT to continue quality coverage of the science fiction and fantasy field.
