Anthropic agrees to work with music publishers to prevent copyright infringement

Anthropic has partly resolved a legal disagreement that saw the AI startup draw the ire of the music industry.

In a court-approved stipulation the two sides came to on Thursday, Anthropic agreed to maintain its existing guardrails against outputs that reproduce, distribute or display copyright material owned by the publishers and implement those same measures when training its future AI models. As mentioned, Thursday’s pact doesn’t fully resolve the original disagreement between Anthropic and the group of music publishers that sued the company. The latter party is still seeking an injunction against Anthropic to prevent it from using unauthorized copies of song lyrics to train future AI models.
