Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
Anthropic's AI system was trained on copyrighted books obtained without authorization, which constitutes a violation of intellectual property rights. This infringement has been legally recognized and resulted in a significant settlement, confirming that harm has occurred. The AI system's development and use directly led to this harm, fulfilling the criteria for an AI Incident. The article's focus is on the realized harm and legal consequences, not just potential or future risks, nor is it solely about responses or updates, so it is not Complementary Information. Therefore, the event is classified as an AI Incident due to the direct violation of copyright through AI training.[AI generated]
