Anthropic has reached a historic settlement agreement worth $1.5 billion with authors and rights holders over the controversial use of their works to train artificial intelligence systems.

Anthropic, the developer of the popular AI assistant Claude, has announced a record-breaking settlement agreement worth $1.5 billion. The settlement resulted from a large-scale legal dispute initiated by book authors, journalists, and other rights holders who accused the company of illegally using their works to train language models.
The Core of the Conflict
At the center of the dispute was the question of whether the company had the right to use copyrighted texts to train its AI models without obtaining explicit consent from rights holders. Plaintiffs argued that their intellectual property was used without compensation and permission, violating their copyrights.
Settlement Details
Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Anthropic commits to paying $1.5 billion over five years. The funds will be distributed among authors and rights holders whose works were used to train the company's AI models. The agreement also provides for the creation of a special fund to support creative professions in the age of artificial intelligence.
Industry Impact
This agreement could set a precedent for other companies developing AI technologies. Experts note that Anthropic's decision may influence other major market players' approaches to copyright issues and the use of intellectual property in training AI models.
Future Prospects
The settlement opens a new chapter in relations between technology companies and content creators. It is expected that clearer legal frameworks will be developed in the future for using copyrighted content to train artificial intelligence.
