A Message from the MWA Board of Directors

Mystery Writers of America wishes to clarify the use of images of Humphrey Bogart and Edgar Allan Poe in a video shown at our recent Edgar Awards. Member authors wrote the script, but AI tools were used to animate the images of Bogart and Poe. Such use is inconsistent with our otherwise staunch support of our members’ fight against unauthorized use and potential for piracy of their work through AI. We apologize and have taken steps to assure this won’t occur in the future.
