Anthropic Revises Terms of Service: Pledges Client Data Protection and Legal Support Against Copyright Claims
Summary:
Anthropic, an AI startup led by former OpenAI scientists, has updated its commercial terms of service to assure clients that their data will not be used for large language model training. From January 2024, all outcomes from its AI models will be owned by the commercial customers. The firm has also promised to support clients facing legal issues due to copyright allegations tied to the use of its services or products. The company intends to cover any approved settlements or judgments resulting from copyright infringements by its AI.
Anthropic, an AI firm specializing in generative technology, has assured that client information won't be leveraged during sizeable language model training, as per revisions to the terms of service for Claude, its developer tool. The company also commits to aiding users in copyright conflicts. The organization, which is managed by former OpenAI scientists, amended its commercial service terms to better illustrate its position. From January 2024 onwards, the reforms communicate that all outcomes generated by Anthropic's AI models are owned by the firm's commercial clients. Claude's developer "foresees no acquisition of any rights to Client Content within these Terms."
In the second half of 2023, OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google vowed to assist clientele confronting legal troubles stemming from copyright allegations linked to the utilization of their technologies. A similar commitment has been made by Anthropic in its revised commercial service terms to shield clients from copyright infringing accusations originating from their sanctioned usage of the firm's services or products. Anthropic declares that users "will now enjoy augmented protection and tranquility when building with Claude, along with an easier-to-use API."
Additionally, Anthropic will cover approved settlements or judgements resulting from copyright contraventions by its AI, as part of its legal defense pledge. This applies to clients of the Claude API and those using Claude via Bedrock, Amazon's generative AI toolset.
It's worth noting, the terms make clear that Anthropic doesn't intend to secure any rights to customer content and neither party has the rights to the other's intellectual property or content, by implication or otherwise.
The efficiency of highly advanced AI technologies, such as Anthropic’s Claude, GPT-4, and LlaMa, known as large language models (LLMs), depends on being educated on extensive textual data. LLMs learn from a variety of language structures, methods, and fresh data, which enhances their precision and contextual perception.
In October, Universal Music Group filed a lawsuit against Anthropic AI for alleged copyright violations over "numerous copyrighted works - including multiple musical composition lyrics" owned or supervised by publishers.
However, Anthropic isn't the sole company facing such legal challenges. Julian Sancton, an author, is suing both OpenAI and Microsoft for allegedly unauthorized utilization of his nonfiction works for AI model training, including ChatGPT.
