Anthropic has agreed to pay a minimum of $1.5 billion to settle the lawsuit brought by a group of authors who sued the AI company for illegally using pirated copies of their books to train large-language models. This covers 500,000 works, but judge William Alsup says if the list exceeds that number, Anthropic must pay an addition $3,000 per work. This is the largest settlement in U.S. history. John Grisham, George R.R. Martin and Jodi Picoult are part of a group of nearly 20 bestselling authors who have sued OpenAI, alleging “systematic theft on a mass scale,” and this ruling could indicate the likely outcome of that case.

While markets clearly reflect the belief that the United States is ahead in the AI arms race, early leadership does not mean victory — especially when it comes to innovation. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/09/04/world/china-europe-climate-connection/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #china #us #ai #artificialintelligence #tech #openai #chatgpt #deepseek

AI Apocalypse? Why language surrounding tech is sounding increasingly religious.

From @AssociatedPress: "At 77 years old, Geoffrey Hinton has a new calling in life. Like a modern-day prophet, the Nobel Prize winner is raising alarms about the dangers of uncontrolled and unregulated artificial intelligence."
