The AI chatbots were trained with a lot of text. Including lyrics to songs. Now music publishers are suing for copyright infringement.

A group of Music publishers want to stop the use of their song lyrics by a large AI company with a lawsuit in the USA. They point out that the chatbot Claude from the company Anthropic, which is supported by Amazon among others, was trained with the lyrics of the songs – and also outputs some of them when making inquiries.

This is a copyright infringement, plaintiffs including Universal Music, Concord Music and ABKCO argue in the lawsuit filed in Nashville on Wednesday. There was initially no comment from Anthropic.

AI chatbots like ChatGPT from the start-up OpenAI or Claude can formulate texts at the linguistic level of a human. The principle behind this is that they estimate, word by word, how a sentence should continue. The models are trained using huge amounts of text. Some of these also include literary works – which has already led to complaints from writers.
