Artificial intelligence company Anthropic has agreed to pay $1.5 billion to settle a class-action lawsuit by book authors who say the company took pirated copies of their works to train its chatbot.

The company has agreed to pay authors or publishers about $3,000 for each of an estimated 500,000 books covered by the settlement.
