Elvis Presley's estate is suing Anthropic over copyright infringement

Stakeholders said Anthropic trained its models on 250-plus Elvis songs and demanded $41 million in compensation. The Elvis suit, though, is notable because it centers on a single musician who died decades before AI was a thing (though some have tried to recreate him as a robot ). Anthropic has previously claimed that training its AI models on copyrighted music constitutes "fair use." The company told the NYT in a brief statement that it disagrees with the claims and intends to defend itself in the case.
