What changed

QMI reported that a group of illustrators staged an action at the book fair against public cultural funding that did not distinguish human from AI illustration. Participant Pascal Colpron subsequently called for greater publishing transparency about AI covers.

RESEARCH NOTE

Date derived from “Saturday” in the Sunday, November 23 report. The latter demand comes from an interview on the 23rd; not all wording is claimed to have been used at the action on the 22nd. The fair was the venue, not necessarily the protest organizer. Funding and employment effects are participants’ claims.

Editorial research question

Editorial interpretation: records illustrators using a book-fair setting to debate public cultural funding, work opportunities, and transparent labeling of AI covers.

This is an editorial interpretation or question, separate from factual statements.
