Use of artificial intelligence
By registering with ISBN Canada, you declare that your book was created by a human author. You may use AI tools only for limited support tasks, such as brainstorming ideas, checking grammar, or formatting your book.

LAC is currently reviewing its policy regarding the use of AI content creation and our guidance is subject to change.
