Anthropic, a San Francisco-based artificial intelligence startup, was recently sued by a group of authors for using a large number of pirated books without authorization when training its popular chatbot Claude. The case is the first time that authors have filed a lawsuit against Anthropic, although similar lawsuits have been filed against competitor OpenAI over the past year. Anthropic is a small company founded by former OpenAI leaders who bill themselves as a more responsible and safety-focused developer of generative AI models.

On July 31, the Financial Times (FT) published a blog post, pointing out that although the AI company Anthropic claimed to "develop AI responsibly", it used the ClaudeBot robot to excessively crawl website data for training the Claude large language model. Although using web crawlers to crawl data is a common practice in the artificial intelligence industry, Anthropic has been criticized for its radicalism. Freelancer, a freelance website, also said that ClaudeBot visited 3.5 million websites in four hours...
