聯邦法官星期四初步核可Anthropic與作家集體訴訟給付15億美元和解金之提議，此乃史上公開著作權訟爭之最高和解金額。此訴訟去年由作家們於加州北區聯邦法院提起，其等主張Anthropic從侵害著作權之資料庫非法下載。
作家們星期四於聲明陳述道：我對法院上開行為感到欣慰，更進一步可認Anthropic的行為具可歸責性，對所有AI公司欲藉由捷徑或凌駕創作人權利等行為提出警示。Anthropic對CNBC要求對此作出評論未即時作出回應。此新創公司於2021年由OpenAI研發執行長所創，估計市值1千8百3拾億美元，齊最著名的即是齊Claude。
AI新創及媒體公司密切關注對Anthropic的訴訟，其等嘗試勾勒出在AI時代中那些是侵害著作權的方式。本月初，Anthropic擬以15億美元與原告和解。該公司說道：其願以每本書約3000美元外加利息的金額來給付和解金，並同意銷毀資料庫中有侵害著作權的題材。
美國聯邦地區法院法官William Alsup一開始對Anthropic上開提議表示保留，包括憂慮著作人如何被適當地告知，據報導，經數星期嚴格評估與檢視後，Alsup最終核可該和解方案。
 

Alsup will consider final approval of the settlement once the notice and claims processes are complete, the release said.

Aparna Sridhar, Anthropic’s deputy general counsel, said in a statement that the company is pleased with the determination, and that the settlement “simply resolves narrow claims about how certain materials were obtained.”

“The decision will allow us to focus on developing safe AI systems that help people and organizations extend their capabilities, advance scientific discovery, and solve complex problems,” Sridhar said.
