A US judge has approved a $1.5 billion settlement in a copyright lawsuit against AI company Anthropic, according to court records.
The settlement amount approved by the judge in the copyright case against Anthropic.
The settlement is described as 'landmark' by some sources, though others do not use that term. The approval is characterized as final in some reports, while others simply state the judge approved the settlement.
The settlement resolves one case but does not resolve the broader issue of using copyrighted works to train AI models, according to some reports.
Some sources refer to the settlement as a 'book-piracy settlement' and note that it involves authors. The settlement is described as receiving final court approval.
Updates
The settlement, now identified as the first major resolution in the ongoing wave of copyright lawsuits against AI firms, includes compensation for both authors and publishers. While official reports previously cited a 1.5 billion dollar figure, conflicting reports suggest the amount may be 1.3 billion euros.
