U.S. Judge Approves Anthropic’s $1.5 Billion Copyright Settlement

A U.S. federal judge in Northern California on July 20 approved Anthropic's $1.5 billion settlement and rejected objections that the compensation was too low, according to Jiemian News. The agreement is intended to resolve a class-action lawsuit filed by a group of writers, who accused Anthropic in 2024 of using their works without permission to train its Claude AI chatbot.
