Anthropic triumphs in AI copyright lawsuit
A US judge just decided that Anthropic, the company behind Claude AI, can legally use copyrighted books to train its chatbot—calling it "exceedingly transformative."
Judge Alsup compared the AI's learning process to how people read and develop their own writing style.
But he also made it clear: storing pirated copies in a central library is still not okay.

Ruling sets new ground rule for AI training battles
This is the first big court win for using copyrighted content in AI training, and it could shape how future copyright battles play out as more authors push back on tech companies.
For anyone interested in how AI learns (or who owns what online), this ruling sets a new ground rule—and might change what's possible with future chatbots and creative tech.
