Libby adds a limited filter for AI-generated content

Libby is adding a filter for AI-generated content, according to The Verge. The feature is intended to help users and libraries manage the growing presence of synthetic or AI-assisted books.

The qualifier is important: filtering AI content is difficult when metadata is incomplete, labels are inconsistent and publishers may not disclose generation methods clearly. A filter can help, but it may not solve the underlying catalog problem.

For digital libraries, the move shows how AI-generated media is creating new moderation and discovery challenges beyond social platforms.
