According to the report, Zimbabwean author Simbarashe Kundizeza has been cleared of allegations that he used artificial intelligence to write his prize-winning short story. The Caine prize for African writers, which awarded the £10,000 prize to his entry *The Blue Fighter*, concluded that the work was "human-written" following a month-long investigation. The story, which was announced as the winner on 6 October, depicts the declining fortunes of a family after the father invests in fish tanks.
