Steal copyrighted data to train your AI model and pay billions in litigation (and also be required to destroy those data sets used in the models). This is the expensive lesson that Anthropic is learning as they agreed to a $1.5 billion settlement.
Who could have seen this coming? — oh yes, the AI Ethics community who has been ringing this bell for years!
I hope this sends a chilling ripple down the spine of every AI developer who has unethically acquired protected data for model training to create their commercial product.
More lawsuits are on the way!
