A significant development in AI policy and safety has occurred. On July 20, 2026, a federal judge granted final approval to Anthropic's $1.5 billion settlement with book authors and publishers.

This settlement marks the largest known copyright settlement in U.S. history, involving roughly 500,000 pirated books, which equates to about $3,000 per work. Additionally, the ruling includes a fair use determination on AI training that remains intact.
