津巴布韦作家西姆巴拉什·昆迪泽扎否认使用人工智能创作其短篇小说《蓝色斗士》，该作品赢得了价值1万美元的凯恩非洲文学奖。
Zimbabwean author Simbarashe Kundizeza denies using AI to write his short story, "The Blue Fighter," which won the $10,000 Caine Prize for African Writing.
法莱·穆塔卡 哈拉雷，津巴布韦——因涉嫌使用人工智能而受到审查的津巴布韦作家西姆巴拉什·昆迪泽扎否认使用人工智能撰写他称受其家庭经历启发的故事，并指出人工智能检测技术存在偏见。
Farai Mutsaka HARARE, Zimbabwe — Zimbabwean author Simbarashe Kundizeza, whose prize for a short story is under review over allegations of AI use, denied using artificial intelligence to write what he said was a story inspired by his family’s experiences, and he suggested that AI-detection technology is biased.
昆迪泽扎的《蓝色斗士》上周赢得了本年度价值1万美元的凯恩非洲文学奖，但《大西洋》杂志的报道称，人工智能检测工具Pangram显示，除另一位作者的诗句摘录外，整篇故事均被判定为人工智能生成。
Kundizeza’s “The Blue Fighter” won this year’s $10,000 Caine Prize for African Writing last week, but a report in The Atlantic magazine said the AI detection tool Pangram had indicated the entire story was AI-generated with the exception of an excerpt from a poem by another author.
昆迪泽扎于周二晚在X平台发布否认声明，并在周三接受美联社采访时表示，非洲作家和读者应当对这种指控提出质疑。
Kundizeza posted a denial on X late Tuesday, and in an interview Wednesday with The Associated Press said that African writers and readers should challenge such accusations.
他说：“需要负责任地使用技术，防止其被用于对那些试图书写自身经历和文化的本土作者产生偏见。虽然我对这些技术了解不多，但众所周知，人工智能在某些方面对我们存在偏见，这确实需要关注，因为我所受到的这种对待不会就此停止。”
“There is need to use technology responsibly so that it is not deployed to create a bias against natives who seek to write about their own experiences and cultures,” he said.
凯恩奖组织者尚未撤销该奖项，但表示奖项正处于审查之中，他们有责任审查此类人工智能的指控。组织者本周称：“我们计划通过以人为本的方式进行审查，确保在整个过程中作家得到支持和关怀。我们已经在此案中启动了相应程序。”
“Although I am not too well versed with these technologies, it is well known that AI is in certain ways biased against us, it’s something that really needs to be looked at because this kind of treatment I got is not going to stop,” he added. The Caine Prize organizers have not retracted the prize, but have said that it is under review and that they have a responsibility to examine such AI claims.
在他的X声明中，昆迪泽扎坚持称，他的故事聚焦于家庭关系和经济困难，完全是他自己的作品。他说该故事经过了标准的编辑流程。他说该故事反映了他家庭在津巴布韦经济动荡年间的生活。“故事的某些方面，包括人物和背景，源自我自身的生活经历，”他说，并将其描述为“一部关于经济崩溃和家庭关系的深刻个人故事。”他质疑认为获奖故事与他早期作品之间的差异应当对他作者身份产生怀疑的说法。
“We aim to do this by taking a human-centered approach, ensuring that writers are supported and cared for during the process. We have initiated that process in this case,” the organizers said this week. In his statement on X, Kundizeza insisted that his story, centered on family relationships and economic hardship, was entirely his own work. He said it had gone through standard editorial processes. He said the story reflected his family’s life during Zimbabwe’s years of economic turmoil“Aspects of the story, including characters and the setting, are drawn from events in my own life,” he said, describing it as “a deeply personal story about economic collapse and familial relationships.”He challenged the suggestion that differences between the winning story and his earlier work should cast doubt on his authorship.
“作为作家，我们会发展出反复出现的兴趣，但我们不会从单一固定模板中创作作品。认为作家无法以不同风格或体裁写作，或在五年以上后无法显著提升写作水平，根本误解了写作的本质，”他在X帖子中表示。
“As writers, we develop recurring interests, but we don’t produce work from a single fixed template. To suggest that a writer cannot write in different styles or genres, or improve his writing substantially after five or more years, fundamentally misunderstands the craft of writing,” he said in his X post.
这些指控在社交媒体上引发了更广泛的讨论，有人质疑黑人作家是否正因AI相关指控而被不公平地针对。
The allegations have prompted a wider debate on social media, with some questioning whether Black authors are being unfairly targeted by AI-related accusations.
激进图书集体（Radical Books Collective）是一个国际组织，专注于组织线上读书会、文学活动和播客，内容聚焦于政治文学和思想。该集体将此次争议描述为更广泛模式的一部分。“数字私刑仍在继续，因为黑人作家正在AI/抄袭丑闻中被针对：Jamir Nazir、Jerry Falade、Thélyson Orélien，如今还有Simbarashe Kundizeza，”该集体在帖子中写道。
Radical Books Collective, an international group that organizes online book clubs, literary events and podcasts focused on political literature and ideas, described the controversy as part of a broader pattern. “The digital lynchings continue as Black authors are being targeted in AI/plagiarism scandals: Jamir Nazir, Jerry Falade, Thélyson Orélien and now Simbarashe Kundizeza,” the collective posted.
来自津巴布韦的语言学家Nhlandla Duba，目前在比勒陀利亚大学研究英语文学，表示昆迪泽扎的故事听起来很真实。
Nhlandla Duba, a linguist from Zimbabwe who researches English literature at the University of Pretoria, said Kundizeza’s story rings true.
“这个故事听起来很有人性。津巴布韦文学依然蓬勃发展！”杜巴在帖子中 proclaims。
“That story sounds human. Zimbabwean literature is alive!”Duba proclaimed on
