- This decision "is driven by the desire to preserve the integrity of the prix Goncourt and the Academy itself, whose central role is to promote and honour literature written by women and men", the Goncourt Academy said.
- Novelist Thélyson Orélien this week denied using AI to write parts of his book "It Was Either That or Die" after the accusations surfaced
