Yesterday,
a
judge ruled that Anthropic can use copywrighted material without the author's consent when
training its AI. This is a terrible setback for not only the rights of authors and artists, but
publishers as well.
One possible silver lining, albeit a weak one, that may come out of this is that literary and
artistic content may have to be purchased in order for the "fair use" prinicple to apply.
Anthropic may have to purchase a copy of an author's book in order to use it for AI training.
The plaintiff in the case insisted that Anthropic used pirated material to create its "central
library." In my opinion, getting a few bucks is a paltry sum to be paid by a company that's
worth over $60 billion (for the moment, anyway).
