The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California acknowledged the complex nature of fair use in relation to generative AI, particularly in a case against Anthropic. Authors and journalists filed a lawsuit, alleging that Anthropic's LLMs were trained on pirated versions of their works without authorization. While the court's ruling was mixed, it emphasized that the inputs to the AI models should not infringe copyright, noting Anthropic's significant financial backing and popularity among corporate clients. The case highlights ongoing tensions between AI advancements and intellectual property rights.
"Like any reader aspiring to be a writer, Anthropic's LLMs trained upon works not to race ahead and replicate or supplant them - but to turn a hard corner and create something different." - Judge William Alsup
