Elvis Presley's estate sues Anthropic over AI training on his songs

First reported

The Guardian ran this on , a day before the next source picked it up.

  • Anthropic, the AI company behind the Claude chatbot, is accused of training its models on 247 to 274 Elvis Presley songs without permission.
  • The estate's owners, including licensing firm Authentic Brands Group, seek $150,000 per track, about $41 million in total.
  • The suit was filed October 23 and, unlike most similar cases, centres on a single artist rather than a major record label.
