In a setback for Anthropic, a court concluded that the use of published expressive works, which are at the core of training large language models, weighs against fair use under the second statutory factor and restricts the fair use defense when the work is of a creative nature.
The ruling references key precedents such as Campbell and the Harper & Row case to reinforce the idea that even creative arrangements based on facts can enjoy strong protections. That line of jurisprudence requires careful evaluation of the nature of works used when training models and complicates strategies that rely on large amounts of published fiction without a license.
The decision has practical implications for companies that develop and train artificial intelligence models: it limits synergies previously thought safe and increases the importance of licenses, data use agreements, and scrubbing processes to remove unauthorized material. Courts pay special attention to the creative nature of content and the impact on the market, which can change industry practices around data and models.
