AI News Briefing — August 30: 35 music publishers sue Anthropic and two co-founders, Kioxia and SanDisk plan about ¥5 trillion in Japan, and Lambda borrows $1 billion to buy chips
Today's three stories turn on a single question — who pays, and how much, for the things that hold AI up. Thirty-five Sony and Warner music publishers filed a copyright suit against Anthropic and two of its co-founders, Kioxia and SanDisk said they expect to invest about ¥5 trillion in Japan by 2032 on the premise of government support, and the AI cloud company Lambda borrowed $1 billion to buy Nvidia chips. The first story is a complaint just filed; the court has yet to rule on any of it.
