Anthropic在作者版权侵权诉讼中达成和解
摘要
Anthropic已与指控其在AI训练数据中侵犯版权的作者达成集体诉讼和解协议。
人工智能公司Anthropic已就一宗由作者提起的集体诉讼达成和解。作者们指控该公司通过使用盗版书籍训练其AI助手Claude，侵犯了他们的版权。
美国地方法官William Alsup确认双方已“协商出一项拟议的集体和解协议”，预计条款将在9月5日前最终确定。
这起诉讼由作者Andrea Bartz、Charles Graeber和Kirk Wallace Johnson发起，指控Anthropic在2021年至2022年间从盗版网站下载多达七百万本书籍，用于训练其AI系统，可能使公司面临重大赔偿责任。
尽管Alsup法官此前裁定Anthropic使用受版权保护的书籍进行AI训练属于“合理使用”，但该公司仍因涉嫌非法获取这些材料自在线“影子图书馆”而面临审判。
作者的律师Justin Nelson将此次和解形容为对所有集体成员都有利的“历史性”结果。
Anthropic由前OpenAI员工于2021年创立，曾辩称该诉讼可能危及这家新兴公司的发展。
