Blake Brittain , Reuters; US music publishers suing Anthropic make their case against AI 'fair use'
"Music publishers Universal Music Group , Concord and ABKCO have asked a judge in California to rule that U.S. copyright law does not insulate artificial intelligence startup Anthropic from liability for copying their song lyrics to train its AI-powered chatbot Claude.
The publishers' request , filed on Monday in federal court in San Jose, tees up a critical question in the legal battle between creators and tech companies: Does the doctrine of "fair use" apply to the copying of millions of copyrighted works to train AI models?"
