Anthropic asks court to dismiss music publishers' AI claims (www.reuters.com)

Artificial-intelligence company Anthropic asked a California federal court on Thursday to dismiss some copyright claims brought by a group of music publishers over the alleged misuse of song lyrics to train its AI-powered chatbot Claude.

Anthropic said that the court should reject the publishers' allegations that the company induced Claude users to infringe their copyrights or committed other copyright-related violations.

The company did not address the core claim from the publishers - Universal Music Group (UMG.AS), opens new tab, ABKCO and Concord Music Group - that the use of their lyrics to train AI violates their rights or the key defense that such training makes fair use of copyrighted work.

"Anthropic's latest motion is completely without merit and is yet another example of an AI company seeking to avoid taking responsibility for its massive infringement of copyrights," the publishers' attorney Matt Oppenheim of Oppenheim + Zebrak said in a statement on Friday.

I hope both parties lose, because they both suck for various reasons.
