In a significant move towards ethical AI practices, the generative AI startup Anthropic, known for developing the Claude model, has revised its commercial terms of service, promising not to use client data for training its large language models (LLMs). This decision, effective from January 2024, ensures that Anthropic’s commercial customers retain ownership of all outputs from the AI models, with the company refraining from acquiring any rights in customer content.
Anthropic’s commitment to customer protection extends to legal aspects as well. The company has pledged to support users in copyright disputes, offering to cover approved settlements or judgments resulting from any copyright infringements by its AI. This aligns with similar pledges made by other AI giants like OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google in the latter half of 2023, to shield customers from legal issues arising from the use of their technologies.
The move comes amidst growing concerns over copyright infringements in the AI sector, highlighted by lawsuits such as Universal Music Group suing Anthropic in October 2023, and author Julian Sancton's lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft for allegedly using his work without authorization.
