Philippe Jaenada's 'The Unknown Woman of the Javel Quay' won the 2026 Goncourt Prize, despite controversy surrounding the use of AI in its creation. Jaenada admitted to using AI for research and inserting a phrase written by AI into his novel 'to play with the reader'. The Goncourt Academy excluded Thylys Oréilien's novel earlier due to suspected heavy use of AI.
