Anthropic Sued for Allegedly Using Elvis Presley's Songs to Train Claude AI Models Without Permission: Report
Reported by Gadgets 360, not nibnow. We are not the publisher of this story, only the source is.
The lawsuit could shape how AI developers can use copyrighted music in training models, potentially affecting the availability and cost of AI services.
Anthropic faces a lawsuit alleging it used 274 Elvis Presley songs without permission to train its Claude AI models. The lawsuit was reportedly brought by a unit of Authentic Brands Group, which handles the intellectual property rights associated with Elvis Presley. The lawsuit was filed on October 23. The plaintiffs allege that Anthropic used copyrighted works on a large scale to develop its AI technology without obtaining the necessary permissions.
Anthropic is a company that builds large language models like Claude, and it, like many AI firms, trains these models on large datasets that may include copyrighted content, raising legal questions about permission and fair use.
