Authors sue Claude AI chatbot creator Anthropic for copyright infringement
The lawsuit filed Monday in a federal court in San Francisco alleges that Anthropic's actions "have made a mockery of its lofty goals" by tapping into repositories of pirated writings to build its AI product. "It is no exaggeration to say that Anthropic's model seeks to profit from strip-mining the human expression and ingenuity behind each one of those works," the lawsuit says.
