Judge Questions $1.5B Anthropic-Authors SettlementSaralnama

CAMPUS NOTICE: U.S. District Judge William Alsup has raised concerns about the $1.5 billion settlement between AI company Anthropic and authors over pirated books used to train chatbots. The judge scheduled a hearing on to review if his concerns are addressed. Key issues include confirming the exact number of pirated books (about 465,000) and ensuring a fair claims process. The judge set deadlines: for a final book list and for a claims form review. He warned the case might still go to trial if issues aren't resolved. (Updated 9 Sep 2025, 04:26 IST; source: link)
