"In September, the technology company Anthropic agreed to a $1.5 billion settlement with writers over pirated copies of their work that was used to train Anthropic's Ai software. Anthropic was not the only tech company that used massive collections of books for training purposes - The Atlantic's Alex Reisner has gathered plenty of information on this very subject - and other lawsuits in a similar vein have been filed."
"New lawsuits are also in the works, including one targeting Apple for its use of a very specific work. Bloomberg Law's Aruni Soni reports that Susana Martinez-Conde and Stephen L. Macknik, both faculty at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University, have used the tech giant over claims that Apple trained its AI on their book Sleights of Mind: What the Neuroscience of Magic Reveals about Our Everyday Deceptions."
Anthropic settled for $1.5 billion with writers over pirated copies used to train its AI. Multiple technology firms used large collections of books as training data, prompting several lawsuits. Plaintiffs Susana Martinez-Conde and Stephen L. Macknik allege that Apple trained its AI on their book Sleights of Mind without compensation and concealed the sources of its training datasets. The plaintiffs identify their work as part of the Books3 dataset, which is central to another class action against Apple filed in the Northern District of California. Both suits are class actions with potential broad implications for AI training practices and creator compensation.
