多名作家在2024年發起集體訴訟，指控Anthropic從LibGen等“影子圖書館”批量下載數百萬份盜版電子書，並將其中約48.2萬部受版權保護的作品納入Claude訓練資料庫。法院隨後把“模型訓練”與“數據獲取”拆開認定：AI讀取合法取得的書籍進行學習，可能屬於合理使用；但通過盜版網站下載並長期儲存作品，本身構成侵權。Anthropic最終同意支付15億美元和解，平均每部作品補償約3000美元，並銷燬相關盜版文件。 Anthropic此前多次指責部分中國AI團隊通過API提取Claude輸出進行模型蒸餾，稱其破壞知識產權規則。兩種行爲在法律上並不完全相同，但形成了鮮明反差：面對人類作品，AI公司強調模型有權學習；面對自身模型輸出，又要求更強的排他保護。所以核心邊界是：AI訓練未必違法，但訓練數據的取得方式必須合法。

Beijing, July 21, 2026 — CSRC Chairman Wu Qing met with John Graham, president and CEO of the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, to discuss global and Chinese economic and financial conditions and investment in China’s capital markets. Wu said China’s economy was broadly stable in 1H and is shifting toward higher-quality growth, and pledged the CSRC will prioritise market stability, steadily expand high‑level institutional opening and further improve ease of foreign participation in China’s capital markets. He welcomed long‑term global institutions, including CPPIB, to increase allocations to China. Graham said CPPIB remains constructive on China’s reform and development and will continue to treat China as an important long‑term investment region under its value‑investment approach.
