Music Ally reports: “Anthropic is the company behind the Claude chatbot, and is one of the buzziest firms in the AI sector. But it’s also one of the most controversial in the eyes of music rightsholders. A group of publishers are currently suing the company alleging copyright infringement of their lyrics. But the case hasn’t put some of the world’s biggest technology companies off backing Anthropic. Last year Amazon said it would be paying $4bn for a minority stake in Anthropic, stumping up $1.25bn as the first tranche of that investment.”
