The lawsuit could shape how AI companies use copyrighted music, potentially limiting the data they can train on and affecting future AI-generated content.
Artificial intelligence developer Anthropic is facing a legal complaint regarding the unauthorized reproduction of numerous musical compositions associated with the late singer Elvis Presley. According to Authentic Brands Group, the technology firm utilized nearly three hundred copyrighted tracks belonging to the iconic entertainer to train its artificial intelligence systems. The intellectual property holder claims that protected works, including the popular ballad Can't Help Falling in Love, were exploited without proper authorization. Representatives for the rights management entity filed the lawsuit to address the alleged infringement.
Authentic Brands Group controls the rights to Elvis Presley’s music, and AI firms often train models on large datasets that may include copyrighted works, raising legal questions about intellectual property use in AI development.
