A coalition of Canada’s largest newspapers is suing AI company Anthropic in an Ontario court. Postmedia, Toronto Star (Torstar), The Globe and Mail, and The Canadian Press, insist that Anthropic infringed on their copyright by using their content to develop its large language AI model, Claude. “Anthropic has capitalized on the commercial success of its AI models, building an expansive suite of services, and raised significant capital, all without obtaining a valid licence from any of the news media companies,” said the statement of claim. The lawsuit was filed on October 6, 2026, and the allegations have not yet been proven in court.
