Here are some more details:

• The settlement stems from a class-action lawsuit, approved by a federal judge on Monday, which was brought by authors who alleged Anthropic used their books without permission to train its Claude AI chatbot.
• The settlement is the largest known copyright payout in U.S. history.
• The British company said settlement proceeds would be spread over several payments estimated to begin in the second half of the financial year.
