Anthropic has received final court approval for its $1.5 billion settlement in a class action lawsuit over copyright infringement related to its AI training data. The settlement will pay $3,000 per copyrighted work to authors and publishers for about 500,000 works. While the judge ruled that training AI on copyrighted text is fair use, Anthropic was found to have illegally downloaded books from pirate sites, leading to the settlement to avoid trial. This case does not set a nationwide legal precedent, and similar lawsuits against other AI companies like Google and OpenAI continue, keeping the legal debate over AI training data unresolved.
