A Historic Agreement Between Anthropic and Authors
Anthropic has agreed to pay $1.5 billion to book authors, setting a record in copyright-related settlements. This impressive amount is the result of a collective action concerning the unauthorized downloading of approximately 482,460 works from piracy databases.
The Distinction Between Piracy and AI Training
It is important to note that this agreement does not pertain to the training of artificial intelligence itself. Indeed, Judge Alsup previously ruled that the use of legally obtained books for AI training is considered "transformative" and falls under fair use. This distinction is crucial, as it provides some protection to AI labs in the context of their research and development activities.
A Victory for AI Labs
Although the financial settlement is substantial, it is seen as a victory for AI labs. Judge Alsup's decision strengthens the position of tech companies by validating the training of their models on legally acquired works, which could influence future similar legal cases.
