In a landmark decision, U.S. Federal Judge William Alsup has ruled that Anthropic's practice of utilizing published books to train its AI models without obtaining prior permission from the authors is permissible under U.S. copyright law. This verdict marks the first time a court has officially recognized the fair use principle espoused by AI companies, absolving them of liability when copyrighted materials are employed for the purpose of training large language models. Nevertheless, Judge Alsup also noted that Anthropic's storage of books in its 'core library' does indeed infringe upon copyright regulations, and the company's initial actions of downloading pirated books via the internet remain subject to separate legal accountability.
