Apex Book Company does not accept submissions of any kind that were written, developed or assisted by tools such as ChatGPT. While we love publishing and reading stories about AI, we want them created and conceived by flesh and blood beings. Any attempt to submit AI-aided work may result in being permanently banned from our company.
Apex Book Company recognizes that non-native English speakers face a disparity when it comes to translation and access to English markets. However, we do not allow submissions generated or edited by AI. We allow direct translation software to be used for stories—that is, non-generative AI (e.g. Google Translate)—submitted to Apex. However, generative AI programs (e.g. ChatGPT) may not be used for translation.
Additionally, we will not knowingly use any work to train AI systems, nor will we knowingly cooperate with third parties that will do so, and generative AI will not be used in production of the anthology or associated art or promoted materials.
