On Thursday, May 15, local time, a U.S. federal judge asked lawyers to provide more information on several points in a $1.5 billion settlement reached between artificial intelligence company Anthropic and the authors who accused it of abusing its book to train AI chat robot Claude. U.S. District Judge Aracelli Martinez-Holkin did not give final approval at a hearing in San Francisco, but instead asked for more details on issues including attorney fees and payments to lead plaintiffs.
