A recent ruling from a US federal court has validated Anthropic's practices regarding the use of copyrighted texts for training its Claude AI model, deeming it as fair use. This landmark decision provides a significant precedent for technology firms that leverage public data for AI development. However, the ruling also established that Anthropic's storage of millions of pirated books violated copyright laws, leading to a trial to determine potential damages.
