Anthropic Seeks To Appeal Fair Use Ruling In Battle With Authors
Artificial intelligence (AI) company Anthropic is seeking to immediately appeal a judge’s rejection of its fair-use defense to claims that it infringed copyright by downloading pirated books in order to train the chatbot Claude.
That decision, issued by U.S. District Court Judge William Alsup in the Northern District of California, “addresses novel and consequential legal questions about the proper fair-use standard in the context of copyright-infringement challenges” to generative artificial intelligence technology, and warrants immediate review by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, Anthropic says in papers filed this week.
