""This landmark settlement far surpasses any other known copyright recovery," said plaintiffs' attorney Justin Nelson. "It is the first of its kind in the AI era.""
""This settlement sends a strong message to the AI industry that there are serious consequences when they pirate authors' works to train their AI, robbing those least able to afford it," said Mary Rasenberger, CEO of the Authors Guild, in a statement supporting the deal."
"According to the legal filing, the settlement, which requires judicial approval, covers around 500,000 books."
"Approximately $3,000 (2,500) will be paid for each affected work."
Anthropic will pay at least $1.5 billion to settle a class action lawsuit brought by three authors who accused the company of using pirated books to train its Claude chatbot. The settlement covers around 500,000 books and would pay approximately $3,000 per affected work, subject to judicial approval. Plaintiffs named are Andrea Bartz, Charles Graeber, and Kirk Wallace Johnson, and plaintiffs' attorney Justin Nelson described the recovery as landmark. The Authors Guild CEO Mary Rasenberger supported the deal as a signal of consequences for using authors' works without permission. Similar lawsuits continue against OpenAI and Meta.
