Authentic Brands Group sued Anthropic for copyright infringement. It claims 274 Elvis Presley songs were used to train AI models. The lawsuit seeks $150,000 per track. It alleges Anthropic built its business on large-scale copyright infringement. The case may set a precedent for AI use of existing music catalogues. The suit names songs like Can’t Help Falling in Love. Anthropic’s Claude model is accused of producing infringing outputs. The plaintiffs say Anthropic knew its guardrails were ineffective. The lawsuit was filed on Friday in a US court.

  • 274 Elvis Presley songs
