ADA says it added clauses restricting publishers' training or sublicensing of works, generation of derivative content using authors' names or likenesses, and pairing works with AI images without permission.

What changed

ADA says it added clauses restricting publishers' training or sublicensing of works, generation of derivative content using authors' names or likenesses, and pairing works with AI images without permission.

RESEARCH NOTE

Publication of a template does not establish an industry-wide collective agreement, an enacted law or adoption by publishers. The author's declaration of not using generative AI is optional. Corroboration on 18 September 2026: text of the first three pages of the ten-page PDF was read, especially Article 3 warranties. This is neither an executed contract nor a full legal review. The optional no-generative-AI sentence on the webpage is absent from the PDF warranty text; the relationship between versions remains unresolved.

Editorial research question

Editorial interpretation: organisational statements become contractual proposals, separately addressing training of works, author-name prompts and AI material alongside books.

This is an editorial interpretation or question, separate from factual statements.
