The proposed class action suit claims Anthropic used pirated books sourced from a dataset called The Pile to train its family of Claude AI models.
A group of authors has sued Anthropic, accusing it of training its models on pirated books, as reported by Reuters. The proposed class action lawsuit was filed in a California court on Monday and alleges Anthropic “built a multibillion-dollar business by stealing hundreds of thousands of copyrighted books.” In the lawsuit, the authors say that Anthropic used a sprawling, open-source dataset known as “The Pile” to train its family of Claude AI chatbots.
The authors want the court to certify their class action lawsuit as well as require Anthropic to pay proposed damages and prevent the company from using copyrighted material in the future. Anthropic didn’t immediately respond to The Verge’s request for comment. The writers suing Anthropic include Andrea Bartz, the author of We Were Never Here; Charles Graeber, who wrote The Good Nurse; and Kirk Wallace Johnson, the author of The Feather Thief.
