AI公司Anthropic和解千萬書籍侵權集體訴訟



人工智能公司Anthropic解決美國作家集體訴訟 指控其AI訓練侵犯版權

根據路透社報道,人工智能公司Anthropic於周二在法庭文件中表示,已解決一宗由美國作家團體發起的集體訴訟,該團體指控Anthropic在訓練其AI助手過程中侵犯了他們的版權。這宗和解案標誌著在一連串針對AI行業的大型訴訟中,首宗獲得解決的案件。

負責此案的加州聯邦法官在六月裁定中指出,Anthropic可能非法從盜版網站下載了多達七百萬本書籍,若作家的指控成立,Anthropic可能須支付數十億美元的賠償金。

Anthropic發言人拒絕對法庭文件發表評論,而該文件亦未披露和解條款細節。

作家代表律師Justin Nelson在聲明中表示:「這項歷史性的和解將惠及所有集體成員。我們期待在未來數週內公布和解細節。」

舊金山美國地區法官William Alsup已下令雙方須於9月5日前提交和解初步批准申請。

這起訴訟是多宗由作家、新聞機構及其他版權持有人針對包括OpenAI、微軟(Microsoft)及Meta平台等公司提出的AI訓練相關版權訴訟之一。

雪城大學法學院教授Shubha Ghosh(未參與本案)指出,這宗和解案可能對未來針對AI公司的訴訟產生「重大影響」。「和解的細節以及未來圍繞和解條款的訴訟將成為關鍵。」

去年,作家Andrea Bartz、Charles Graeber及Kirk Wallace Johnson對Anthropic提起集體訴訟,指控該公司在未經授權及未付費的情況下,非法使用盜版書籍來訓練其AI助手Claude,以回應人類提示。Anthropic獲亞馬遜(Amazon)及Alphabet(Google母公司)支持。

AI公司則主張,其系統對版權材料的使用屬於合理使用,創造出新的變革性內容。法官Alsup認為Anthropic在AI訓練過程中屬合理使用,但違反了作者權利,因為該公司將數百萬本盜版書籍存入一個「中央圖書館」,不一定用於訓練。

原定於今年12月開庭審理,判定Anthropic應支付多少侵權賠償。美國版權法規定,故意侵權可被判處每件作品最高15萬美元的法定賠償金。

評論與啟示

Anthropic這次的和解,無疑是AI產業面對版權挑戰的一個重要里程碑。隨著人工智能技術迅速發展,利用大量數據訓練模型成為行業常態,但這些數據的來源與合法性問題也日益凸顯。此案突顯了AI公司在追求技術突破時,必須更加重視知識產權和倫理界限。

值得注意的是,法官認可了部分合理使用的立場,這對AI行業來說是一個積極信號,表明在某些條件下合理使用可以被接受,為AI訓練提供一定彈性。然而,Anthropic因保存大量盜版書籍而違法,提醒業界不能僅靠模糊的合理使用原則掩蓋侵權行為,否則將面臨高額賠償風險。

對香港及全球市場而言,這宗案件的和解將成為未來AI版權訴訟的參考範本,促使AI公司更加謹慎處理訓練資料來源,甚至可能推動行業建立更透明及合規的數據獲取機制。此外,這也提醒創作者及版權持有人,必須積極參與AI技術發展的法律規範制定,確保自身權益不被忽視。

總括而言,Anthropic和解案既是警鐘,也是契機。如何在促進技術創新與保護知識產權間取得平衡,將是未來AI產業能否健康持續發展的關鍵。香港作為國際金融和科技樞紐,亦應密切關注此類案件動態,適時調整本地法律政策,為本地AI企業與創作者創造公平且可持續的發展環境。
