In a landmark ruling, Judge William Alsup deemed Anthropic's use of copyrighted material for training its AI model, Claude, as fair use. This decision highlights the transformative nature of AI training, equating it to a reader aspiring to write. While seen as a significant victory for the tech industry, experts caution that the issue remains contentious, particularly for authors. The case is expected to face an appeal, reflecting ongoing tensions between the rights of creators and advancements in artificial intelligence.
"Authors cannot rightly exclude anyone from using their works for training or learning as such...to make anyone pay specifically for the use of a book each time they read it...would be unthinkable."
"The fair use ruling looks bad for creators on its surface, but this is far from the final word on the matter."
