Authors win against Anthropic in landmark AI copyright case
Three authors just got the go-ahead to take AI startup Anthropic to court, claiming it used millions of pirated books from sites like LibGen and PiLiMi to train its AI.
With this ruling, they can now represent all US writers whose work might have been used without permission.
