Summary

Éditions du Boréal has dropped Quebec author Thélyson Orélien after an outside analysis found traces of artificial intelligence in documents from his novel, *It Was Either That or Die*. The publisher said it cannot determine how much AI was used and may never know for certain. The novel had been scheduled for translation in more than 20 countries.
