Inside the Explosive Anthropic Class-Action Lawsuit That Could Rewrite AI’s Future
The whole process went pretty quick. I had two books that required split payouts. The form wants the address and contact information for the publisher or the coauthor. I had to look these up. The one publisher I had to share with has merged with another publisher and moved to a new location, but I found their contact info online. On the form, I requested a 50% split with my publisher. I also requested a 50% split for the book I wrote with a coauthor.
Looking Forward
I would not be surprised if we see more class-action suits like this in the future. The major AI companies have trained their models on an enormous amount of information which they did not pay for, and for which they had no permission.
