The Role of AI in Literature: Advantages and Challenges in the Present Scenario

Abstract

An Artificial Intelligence in abbreviation it is called AI, a branch of computer science focusing on computer programs that is able to think, learn, and act like humans that has been rapidly emerged in 21st century and significantly influenced almost every field of human activities like knowledge, including literature and literary studies. Literature, traditionally deals with human creativity, imagination, and emotional expression and now it is interacting with intelligent machines capable of processing language, generating texts, and analyzing literary patterns. In the present scenario, AI is able to transform how literature is studied, preserved, and also how it is created and interpreted. This research article points out the role of Artificial Intelligence in literature by examining its advantages and challenges in contemporary contexts. It also discusses the application of AI in literary creation, textual analysis, translation, pedagogy, publishing, and literary research too. The article argues that while AI offers powerful tools that enhance efficiency, accessibility, and analytical depth, it also raises serious concerns regarding creativity, originality, bias, and the human essence of literature. The study concludes that AI should be viewed as a supportive and complementary force that assists human engagement with literature rather than replacing human imagination and interpretive authority
