内容总结：

人工智能公司Anthropic近日就一起集体诉讼与美国作家群体达成和解。该公司被指控使用盗版作品训练其AI模型，涉嫌侵犯著作权。

这起由作家安德烈娅·巴茨、查尔斯·格雷伯和柯克·华莱士·约翰逊去年提起的诉讼指出，Anthropic在其Claude人工智能模型的训练过程中使用了包含大量盗版内容的开源数据集。原定于12月开庭的审理程序因双方达成"拟议集体和解"而得以避免。据《连线》杂志此前报道，若败诉Anthropic可能面临超万亿美元的天价赔偿。

尽管具体和解条款尚未披露，但原告代理律师贾斯汀·尼尔森称此为"具有历史意义的和解"，并表示将在数周内公布细节。值得注意的是，今年6月威廉·阿尔苏普法官曾裁定合法购买书籍训练AI模型属于合理使用范畴，但为后续诉讼留出了空间。

这家获得亚马逊投资的初创企业最终选择以和解方式了结纠纷，避免了漫长诉讼可能带来的商业风险。目前Anthropic方面拒绝就此事发表评论，和解协议预计将于9月3日正式生效。

人工智能公司Anthropic已就一起集体诉讼达成和解。该诉讼由一批美国作家提起，他们指控这家初创企业在训练AI模型时使用了盗版作品构成侵权。在周二的法律文件中，Anthropic表示已协商达成"拟议集体和解"，使公司免于面临可能判定其侵权赔偿额的庭审。

Anthropic就AI书籍侵权诉讼达成和解
这家获亚马逊投资的初创企业被指控使用"数百万部"盗版作品训练AI模型，如今无需对簿公堂。

虽然具体和解条款尚未披露，但此事源于作家安德烈娅·巴尔茨、查尔斯·格雷伯和柯克·华莱士·约翰逊去年提起的版权诉讼。原告声称Anthropic使用包含盗版材料的开源数据集训练其Claude人工智能模型。

Anthropic曾在六月取得重大胜利——当时威廉·阿尔苏普法官裁定使用合法购买书籍训练AI模型属于合理使用范畴，但同时为后续诉讼留出空间。今年七月，阿尔苏普法官批准了美国作家提起的集体诉讼，该诉讼指控Anthropic"通过Napster式下载方式窃用数百万部作品"违反版权法。据《连线》杂志报道，Anthropic原定十二月就盗版指控出庭，可能面临数十亿乃至超万亿美元的罚金。

和解协议预计于9月3日正式生效。"这项具有历史意义的和解将使全体集体诉讼成员受益，"作家代理律师贾斯汀·尼尔森在给The Verge的声明中表示，"我们期待在未来几周公布和解细节。"Anthropic方面拒绝置评。

Anthropic has settled a class action lawsuit with a group of US authors who accused the AI startup of copyright infringement. In a legal filing on Tuesday, Anthropic says it has negotiated a “proposed class settlement,” allowing it to skip a trial that would have determined how much the company owes for allegedly training its AI models on pirated work.

The Amazon-backed startup won’t have to go to trial over claims it trained AI models on ‘millions’ of pirated works.

The terms of the settlement still aren’t clear, but it stems from a copyright lawsuit filed by writers Andrea Bartz, Charles Graeber, and Kirk Wallace Johnson last year, which claimed Anthropic trained its Claude AI models on an open-source dataset filled with pirated materials.
Anthropic scored a major victory in June when Judge William Alsup ruled that training AI models on legally purchased books counts as fair use, but he left the door open for further litigation. In July, Judge Alsup approved a class action lawsuit from US authors that accused Anthropic of violating copyright laws “by doing Napster-style downloading of millions of works.” Anthropic was set to go to trial over the piracy claims in December, where it could’ve faced billions or more than $1 trillion in penalties, according to Wired.
The settlement is expected to be finalized on September 3rd. “This historic settlement will benefit all class members,” Justin Nelson, an attorney for the authors, said in a statement to The Verge. “We look forward to announcing details of the settlement in the coming weeks.” Anthropic declined to comment.
