A federal judge has approved Anthropic's $1.5 billion settlement in a class-action lawsuit brought by authors. The lawsuit accused Anthropic of using copyrighted books without permission to train its AI chatbot, Claude. While the settlement is one of the largest in US copyright history, some authors find the payout of approximately $3,000 per affected work to be too low, leading some to opt out and pursue separate legal action. The settlement resolves claims related to the acquisition of training data but does not definitively rule on the legality of AI training on copyrighted material.
