A massive copyright settlement involving artificial intelligence and books has authors choosing between a payday and a legal fight.
Colorado authors, including Peter Heller and Camille Dungy, are among those affected by the case against Anthropic, the company behind the AI tool Claude.
Allegedly, the AI was trained using illegally downloaded books, leading to a $1.5 billion settlement, with Anthropic denying any wrongdoing.
Some argue the settlement is not enough.
Authors must decide whether to accept the payment or pursue further legal action.
Author summary: Authors face a choice in a $1.5 billion settlement.
