A new French award, the Prix Pascal de Littérature IA, is inviting manuscripts co-written with AI, sparking debate over whether AI-assisted books can win literary prizes.
- Open to unpublished French-language fiction between 10,000 and 50,000 words
- Each entry requires a technical dossier naming the model and the prompts or agents used
- Organizers ask writers to describe their process precisely
One of the first literary prizes built around human-AI co-authorship with explicit transparency requirements.
