旧金山(美联社)——一名联邦法官已批准一项 15 亿美元的版权和解协议,人工智能公司 Anthropic 将向数千名作者支付每本书约 3000 美元的赔偿,此前该公司使用这些作品的盗版副本训练其 Claude 聊天机器人。
地区法官 Araceli Martínez-Olguín 在周一的裁决中表示,这项集体诉讼和解为受影响的作者和出版商提供了“有意义的救济”。
该裁决涵盖的超过 48.2 万本书中,约 91% 已被作者或出版商认领,他们现在将获得相应赔偿。
原告律师贾斯汀·纳尔逊在声明中表示,这项和解是“历史上已知的最大版权追偿。我们期待尽快向集体成员发放赔偿。”
美国地区法官威廉·阿尔苏普去年 9 月在旧金山联邦法院作出了初步批准,此后已退休。阿尔苏普去年夏天对该案作出了混合裁决,认定在受版权保护的图书上训练 AI 聊天机器人并不违法,但 Anthropic 通过盗版网站不当获取了数百万本书。
Anthropic 副总法律顾问阿帕娜·斯里达尔上周五强调该裁决具有里程碑意义,表明“根据版权法,用图书训练 AI 属于合理使用。”
“我们很高兴,和解覆盖的作者和出版商中有超过 91% 已认领其应得的赔偿份额,我们期待将此案了结,”斯里达尔在书面声明中表示。

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal judge has approved a $1.5 billion copyright settlement in which artificial intelligence company Anthropic will pay thousands of authors about $3,000 per book after using pirated copies of their works to train its Claude chatbot.
District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín said in a Monday ruling that the class-action settlement provides “meaningful relief” to affected authors and publishers.
About 91% of the more than 482,000 books covered by the ruling have been claimed by authors or publishers who are now due payment.
Plaintiff attorney Justin Nelson said in a statement that the settlement was “the largest known copyright recovery in history. We look forward to making distributions to the Class as promptly as possible.”
U.S. District Judge William Alsup issued the preliminary approval in San Francisco federal court last September and has since retired. Alsup had dealt the case a mixed ruling last summer, finding that training AI chatbots on copyrighted books wasn’t illegal but that Anthropic wrongfully acquired millions of books through pirate websites.
Anthropic’s deputy general counsel, Aparna Sridhar, highlighted that ruling Friday as a landmark showing “that training AI on books is fair use under copyright law.”
“We are pleased that more than 91% of authors and publishers covered by the settlement have claimed their share of the payment, and we’re looking forward to bringing this matter to a close,” Sridhar said in a written statement.
