Anthropic was sued for training artificial intelligence with Elvis's voice

Elvis Presley’s heirs have sued Anthropic for copyright infringement over 274 songs, claiming the AI model Claude used their music for training without permission. The lawsuit emphasizes the protection of iconic songs, asserting that the AI not only drew inspiration but recreated the protected works. Despite implementing safeguards, Anthropic's Claude allegedly continued to generate music closely resembling the originals. The plaintiffs argue that this constitutes a direct violation of their exclusive rights, as the AI produced versions that maintained the same structure and motifs as the original songs.
