Owners of Elvis Presley's music rights, led by Authentic Brands Group, filed a lawsuit on Friday against the AI company Anthropic. The plaintiffs allege that Anthropic used 274 Presley songs without a license or payment to train its Claude models, and that Claude outputs reproduce lyrics or create unauthorized adaptations of the songs. Anthropic said it disagrees with the claims and intends to defend the case fully, according to the BBC. The allegations have not been tested in court.
