AI BriefingExpanded Legal Protections and API Improvements
Key point
Anthropic has unveiled new terms that strengthen copyright protection along with a Messages API beta that improves the developer experience.
Details
Anthropic has revised its Commercial Terms of Service to strengthen copyright protection for customers. Customers retain ownership of all outputs generated through use of the service and are protected from copyright infringement claims.
Anthropic will defend against copyright infringement lawsuits brought over customers' authorized use or outputs, and will pay approved settlements or judgments. These terms take effect from January 1, 2024 (Claude API) and January 2 (Amazon Bedrock).
In addition, to improve the developer experience, Anthropic has introduced a Messages API beta. It provides a structured format to reduce mistakes that can arise from the existing API's prompt construction method, helping developers catch prompt construction errors early and obtain optimal output from the model.
Going forward, Anthropic plans to offer a variety of features through the Messages API, including powerful function calling capabilities, and will gradually expand access to the Claude API.
