A federal judge has approved Anthropic's historic $1.5 billion class action settlement with authors over AI training on copyrighted books.Summary
A federal judge has officially approved Anthropic's $1.5 billion class action settlement with authors who accused the company of using copyrighted books to train its AI models. Under the agreement, eligible authors will receive approximately $3,000 per pirated book, a payout legal representatives describe as the largest copyright recovery in history. While over 91 percent of affected authors and publishers have claimed their payments to bring the matter close to resolution, Anthropic still faces separate copyright lawsuits from other writers who argue the compensation is insufficient.
