Anthropic is set to pay a landmark $1.5 billion copyright violation settlement, Reuters reported Monday (June 20). District Judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin approved the settlement, believed to be the largest such award in a copyright case in the United States, the report said. A class action lawsuit had been brought by a group of authors who accused Anthropic of improperly using their works to train its Claude artificial intelligence chatbot, according to the report.
