Los Angeles Principal Chad Hummel was quoted in a New York Times article titled, " Anthropic Agrees to Pay $1.5 billion to Settle Lawsuit With Book Authors." The article discusses a landmark settlement between AI company Anthropic and a group of book authors after an ongoing battle over copyrighted books, and how the case could shape future copyright disputes involving AI technology. The settlement comes after a ruling from Judge William Alsup in June, where he found that Anthropic had obtained millions of books illegally, giving the authors cause to take Anthropic to trail. Chad said, "Anthropic saw the writing on the wall that there was a substantial amount of liability."
