A federal judge approved Anthropic's $1.5 billion settlement to authors and publishers over copyright infringement related to illegally downloaded books used for AI training. The settlement pays $3,000 per work for about 500,000 works but does not resolve the broader legal question of AI training on copyrighted texts. This case sets a significant precedent but remains limited to a single district court, with similar lawsuits ongoing against other AI companies.
