This is Lowpass by Janko Roettgers, a newsletter on the ever-evolving intersection of tech and entertainment, syndicated just for The Verge subscribers once a week. "AI is the new frontier for us," says Marc DeBevoise, who took over as the new CEO of OverDrive last week. OverDrive is best known for the ebook lending app Libby that is available through tens of thousands of public libraries. Like the rest of the digital publishing industry, it's poised to face massive disruption from a huge wave of AI-generated books. To prepare for the AI onslaught, Libby is now getting ready to introduce AI c...
