美国联邦法官Araceli Martínez-Olguín于周一批准了Anthropic公司与作者及出版商之间的15亿美元版权和解协议 12。该和解源于Anthropic因使用盗版书籍训练Claude聊天机器人而遭起诉，诉讼由作家Andrea Bartz等人于2024年首次提起 12。
根据和解协议，受影响的482000余本书的作者和出版商将获得赔偿 12。平均每本书的作者获得约3000美元 12，其中91%以上的权利人已认领赔偿款 2。出版商Bloomsbury将因其旗下14087个书籍标题的侵权问题，预期与作者各获得约1900万美元的赔偿 2。律师费及其他相关费用将占和解金的约10% 2。
原告方律师Justin Nelson称这是"历史上最大规模的版权追偿" 12。法官Araceli Martínez-Olguín评价该和解为受影响的作者和出版商提供了"有意义的救济" 2。预期首笔款项将在本财年下半年开始分期发放 2。
Anthropic副总法律顾问Aparna Sridhar表示"AI在书籍上的训练属于合理使用" 1，但该观点并未改变法院的和解批准决定。
A U.S. federal judge has approved a $1.5 billion copyright settlement between AI startup Anthropic and thousands of authors and publishers whose works were allegedly used without permission to train the Claude chatbot. 12
Federal Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín granted approval to the agreement, which covers more than 482,000 books and provides meaningful relief to affected rights holders. 12 Under the settlement terms, authors and publishers will receive approximately $3,000 per title on average. 12 More than 91 percent of rights holders have already claimed their compensation. 2
The settlement addresses a lawsuit initially filed in 2024 by authors including Andrea Bartz, alleging that Anthropic used pirated books to train its AI model. 12 Plaintiff attorney Justin Nelson characterized the agreement as "the largest known copyright recovery in history." 12
Bloomsbury, the publisher behind the Harry Potter series, will receive millions in compensation as a beneficiary of the settlement. 2 The publisher has approximately 14,087 titles included in the agreement and expects to receive around $19 million (£14 million) along with affected authors, after deducting roughly 10 percent for legal fees and other costs. 2 Initial payouts are expected to begin in the second half of the current fiscal year. 2
Anthropic has maintained its position on the matter. 1 Deputy General Counsel Aparna Sridhar stated that "AI training on books constitutes fair use," representing the company's defense of its practices. 1
