Author says AI adaptations of her novels are illegal and warns creators of copyright action and legal consequencesPHOTO: Books Hub PakistanNovelist Nemrah Ahmad has criticised the growing number of AI-generated videos based on her bestselling novel Jannat Kay Pattay, describing the practice as "extremely illegal" and unethical. In a statement shared on Instagram, Ahmad warned YouTube channels and Instagram pages creating AI adaptations of her novels without permission that they would face copyright complaints and possible legal action. "PSA: All the YouTube channels/Instagram pages making AI videos on my novels, especially Jannat Kay Pattay, need to delete those because one by one we are going to report them for copyright violations," she wrote. The videos circulating on social media typically use generative AI to recreate scenes, characters and settings from Jannat Kay Pattay, presenting animated interpretations of the novel without the author's involvement or permission. Ahmad is one of Pakistan's best-known contemporary novelists, with works including Jannat Kay Pattay, Namal and Mus'haf.
