The AI developer Anthropic filed an opposition to copyright infringement claims from Universal Music Group and other music companies, calling them invalid and saying they were filed in the wrong court.
Anthropic, the developer of the artificial intelligence (AI) model Claude, has filed a rebuttal to a lawsuit filed in October by a group of music labels, including Universal Music Group (UMG), alleging misuse of copyrighted work.
The AI developer filed its opposition on Jan. 16 stating that not only are the plaintiff’s claims not valid, but that the case was filed in the wrong court.
The initial claims from Universal Music Group, Concord Publishing, and ABKCO Music & Records alleged that Anthropic committed “unlawful” use and “unlawfully” copied and disseminated “vast amounts of copyrighted works” from them while training its AI models.
