The AI copyright crisis has escalated again: independent music publishers sued Anthropic and Suno, with claims that may exceed US$1 billion. Copyright litigation in the field of artificial intelligence is ushering in another wave. Independent music publisher Round Hill Music recently filed a lawsuit in California federal court, pushing artificial intelligence giants Anthropic and Suno into the dock, accusing the two companies of unauthorized misuse of hundreds of copyrighted songs to train their generation systems. According to the prosecution documents, Anthropic used at least 500 classic song lyrics owned by Round Hill copyrights during the training process of its chatbot Claude, covering the works of well-known musicians such as James Brown, The Kinks and Goo Goo Dolls, to help the large model better understand and respond to various human prompts. At the same time, Round Hill also filed the same accusation against Suno, pointing out that its AI music generation system also illegally used this batch of copyrighted music libraries for training. In the face of intensifying infringement disputes, the music publisher disclosed to the court in both cases that with the deepening of investigation and evidence collection, the number of songs involved is likely to expand to tens of thousands or even more in the future. Plaintiffs are currently seeking substantial damages approaching or exceeding $1 billion based on potential infringement impacts of this magnitude. As of now, Anthropic and Suno officials have not publicly responded to this lawsuit. via AI News (author: AI Base)
