Anthropic blames Claude AI for ‘embarrassing and unintentional mistake’ in legal filing
1 min read
Summary
Anthropic, the AI-powered music licensing and composition platform, is under fire for accusations it fabricated a source used in legal filings.
Anthropic is currently suing music publishers including Universal Music, ABKCO, and Concord, over claims it used copyrighted lyrics to train its AI model, Claude, without permission.
In a recent court filing, Anthropic admitted Claude had been used to format legal citations, but that erroneous volume and page numbers generated by the chatbot had been caught and corrected.
The company denies other allegations of AI-fabricated sources.
This is one of many examples in courts revealing problems with using AI tools for legal citations.
A recent example includes a California Judge criticising two law firms for failing to disclose the use of AI to generate bogus materials.
