Anthropic Faces Copyright Lawsuit Over Alleged Unauthorized Use of Elvis Presley Catalog

Artificial intelligence company Anthropic is facing a significant legal challenge regarding the training of its AI models. A lawsuit filed on Friday, October 23, alleges that the firm utilized 274 songs associated with the late Elvis Presley without obtaining the necessary authorization or providing compensation to the rights holders. The legal action, which highlights the ongoing tension between the music industry and technology developers, cites several iconic tracks from the Presley catalog. Among the songs specifically identified in the complaint are “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” “A Little Less Conversation,” and “Don’t Be Cruel.” The plaintiffs, which include entities such as Authentic Brands Group that manage the singer’s intellectual property, contend that their exclusive rights have been violated by the unauthorized use of these compositions and lyrics.
