Authors Weigh Options in $1.5 Billion Copyright Settlement
A massive copyright settlement involving artificial intelligence and books has authors deciding between a payout and a legal fight.
Colorado authors, including Peter Heller and Camille Dungy, are among those affected by the case against Anthropic, the company behind the AI tool Claude.
Anthropic allegedly trained its AI using illegally downloaded books, leading to a $1.5 billion settlement, with the company denying any wrongdoing.
- Authors can claim around $3,000 per stolen work if their books are listed in the online database.
The settlement totals $1.5 billion, but some argue it’s not enough.
Authors must now choose between accepting the payout or pursuing further legal action.
