Summary
Canadian publisher Boréal has ended its relationship with Haitian-Canadian novelist Thélyson Orélien after an investigation found signs that AI was used while writing his best-selling novel, *C'était ça ou mourir*. The publisher said it found AI-related tags in metadata from some draft documents, but could not determine how extensively AI was used; Orélien disputes that a machine wrote any part of the book. The novel had been scheduled for translation in more than 20 countries.
