US EditionAnthropic wins key US ruling on AI training in authors' copyright lawsuit
- On Monday, U.S. District Judge William Alsup ruled that Anthropic’s training of its AI model Claude using copyrighted books without obtaining permission from the authors was lawful under copyright law.
- The ruling followed a lawsuit filed last year by writers alleging Anthropic used pirated books to build its AI product and created a 'central library' of all books for permanent storage.
- Alsup agreed Anthropic's AI training was transformative and fair use, but ordered a trial to address alleged copyright violations from storing pirated copies in the central library.
- The judge wrote that buying a copy of a previously stolen book may reduce damages but does not absolve Anthropic of liability for the original theft.
- Alsup's decision marks a significant legal precedent supporting AI training but leaves unresolved risks regarding use of pirated materials, affecting future AI industry cases.
