While OpenAI has close ties to Microsoft, Anthropic&#8217;s primary commercial partner is Amazon, which is using Claude to improve its widely used Alexa voice assistant.<\/p>\n<p>Much like other AI companies, Anthropic has relied heavily on websites such as Wikipedia and Reddit that are deep troves of written materials that can help teach an AI assistant the patterns of human language. <\/p>\n<p>In a 2021 paper co-authored by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei \u2014 cited in the lawsuit \u2014 researchers at the company identified the subreddits, or subject-matter forums, that contained the highest quality AI training data, such as those focused on gardening, history, relationship advice or thoughts people have in the shower. <\/p>\n<p>Anthropic in 2023 argued in a letter to the U.S. Copyright Office that the &#8220;way Claude was trained qualifies as a quintessentially lawful use of materials,&#8221; by making copies of information to perform a statistical analysis of a large body of data. It is already battling a lawsuit from major music publishers alleging that Claude regurgitates the lyrics of copyrighted songs.<\/p>\n<p>But Reddit&#8217;s lawsuit is different from others brought against AI companies because it doesn&#8217;t allege copyright infringement. Instead, it focuses on the alleged breach of Reddit&#8217;s terms of use, and the unfair competition, it says, was created. <\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p>The Associated Press and OpenAI have a licensing and technology agreement that allows OpenAI access to part of AP&#8217;s text archives.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list
