The judging panel stressed that the six shortlisted books represent distinctly human creativity that cannot be replicated by artificial intelligence, with judges noting the selection was contentious but unified around works that took artistic risks.
“These books, we truly believe, cannot be replicated by artificial intelligence. These are very human books for the way they talk about and navigate a lived experience.”
