New Indian mega library rocked by scandal over 'AI-generated books'

Questions have also been raised about a book found at another public library in Madurai which names renowned economist Jean Drèze as its author.

The book, Democracy and People's Rights in the Contemporary World, names renowned economist Jean Drèze as its author and was published by Phoenix Publishing House.

Drèze did not respond to BBC Tamil's request for comment but told The Hindu newspaper earlier this week that he had not written the book, raising concerns that his name may have been used without his permission.

BBC Tamil visited a Chennai address listed by Agal Vilakku and another publisher named in the controversy, Phoenix Publishing House, but found no signs identifying either business.
