A federal judge's ruling affirms that AI companies like Anthropic can train their models on copyrighted works legally obtained, marking a significant development in fair use application for generative AI. This decision arises from a class action lawsuit by authors against Anthropic, asserting unauthorized usage of their works for AI training. The judge deemed such training as fair use, deeming it transformative while acknowledging legal acquisition of hard copies, contributing to the ongoing debate over copyright in the AI sector.
Rather than obtaining permission and paying a fair price for the creations it exploits, Anthropic pirated them.
The training use was a fair use. The use of the books at issue to train Claude and its precursors was exceedingly transformative.
