Anthropic warns US regulators copyright suits could force licensing, retraining
Anthropic, the company behind its AI models, just told US regulators that copyright lawsuits are a big deal for their future.
If courts decide using copyrighted stuff to train AI isn't allowed, Anthropic could face huge bills for licensing or even have to retrain their models from scratch.
This warning comes as they're already getting sued for allegedly using protected content without permission.
