A group of authors are suing AI startup Anthropic for allegedly using pirated text to train its chatbot Claude. The lawsuit claims that Anthropic’s actions go against its stated goals and seek to profit from dissecting human expression and ingenuity. This is the first case brought against Anthropic by authors, but the company is also facing a lawsuit from music publishers for using copyrighted lyrics. This is part of a growing trend of copyright infringement lawsuits against developers of large AI language models.
