What could be wrong with Claude?
Global music industry giant Universal Music has filed a lawsuit against artificial intelligence startup Anthropic. At the center of the controversy is the Claude chatbot, which plays lyrics from Universal's repertoire.
According to representatives of Universal and two other music companies, Anthropic uses the lyrics of famous artists without permission to create "almost identical" materials. For example, if you ask Claude to provide the lyrics to Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive", he will produce a version that is almost indistinguishable from the original.
Please note that the reproduction and distribution of song lyrics without proper permission violates copyright law in the United States.
"This material is protected by copyright, and it cannot be taken just like that, even if it is publicly available on the Internet," the lawyers emphasize.
The situation becomes even more urgent against the background of growing attention to generative AI technologies that can create deepfakes with imitation of the voices of stars. Recently, a neural network-generated track with the voices of Drake and The Weeknd appeared on the network.
Startup Anthropic was founded by former employees of Open AI in 2021. It has already attracted investment from giants such as Amazon and Google. The growing popularity of Claude raises serious concerns for the music studio.
Particularly troubling is Claude's ability to generate lyrics that relate not just to specific pieces, but also to the style of certain musicians. "When we asked the AI to create a short piece in the style of Louis Armstrong, it used the lyrics of the song 'What a Wonderful World'," the statement said.
This dispute is reminiscent of the music industry's struggle in the early 2000s with service owners like Napster. Meanwhile, Universal, which represents stars like Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish, has announced a partnership with music service BandLab. The goal of the collaboration is to develop "ethical" rules for working with music content in AI-based products, minimizing violations of the law.
Universal also asked platforms like Spotify to restrict access to its music catalog for neural network developers.
