A lawsuit accuses AI company Anthropic of using copyrighted lyrics from major artists—including The Beatles, Taylor Swift, and Michael Jackson—without permission in its training data, raising concerns over intellectual property rights in AI development. The legal action suggests the company may have scraped vast amounts of creative work to improve its language models, potentially violating fair use protections. If proven, the case could set a precedent for how tech firms handle copyrighted material in machine learning. The dispute highlights growing tensions between innovation and artistic ownership in the digital age.
Anthropic pirated hundreds of lyrics from The Beatles, Taylor Swift, Michael Jackson and other artists, lawsuit says.
