The US Court has finally issued a settlement in the landmark case involving Anthropic and a group of book authors, directing the maker of Claude Fable 5 to pay $1.5 billion in settlement (as per US Court filings published by Reuters). US District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín granted final approval to the class-action settlement between Anthropic and a group of book authors, resulting in the AI firm paying a hefty fine.
