Barnes & Noble CEO James Daunt has learned to adapt to changes in the book publishing industry to keep his company afloat and thriving. Now, the bookseller chain faces a technological advancement that many businesses are grappling with: artificial intelligence. But he isn’t worried.

"...I have actually no problem selling any book, as long as it doesn’t masquerade or pretend to be something that it isn’t, and that it has an essential quality to it, and that the customer, the reader, wants it,” he replied.

“So as long as an AI-written book says it’s an AI-written book and doesn’t pretend to be something else and isn’t ripping off somebody else, as long as that’s clearly stated and the customer wants to buy it, then we will stock them.”

The CEO added that it is plausible Barnes & Noble already stocks a few AI-written books.
