Canadian News Publishers Sue Anthropic Over AI Copyright Infringement
Anthropic now has a lawsuit in Ontario to go with the ones elsewhere. Canadian publishers would like their archives back, or at least invoiced.
The facts
A coalition of major Canadian news publishers, including Postmedia, Torstar, The Globe and Mail, and The Canadian Press, has sued AI company Anthropic in Ontario. They allege Anthropic used their copyrighted content without authorization to train its AI model Claude, violating intellectual property rights and website terms.
