However, no hard evidence links Zoom Books to AI businesses, despite a previous page titled "ai-training-books" on its website.
Zoom Books denied working with Anthropic in a statement to elDiario. es, asserting it is a used-book retailer that buys surplus and used stock and sells it.
"We buy excess and used stock in and sell the one you sell," the statement said.
The article also mentions Anthropic reached a settlement potentially totaling $1.5 billion for books downloaded without author permission, after a U.
S. judge ruled the scanning as "fair use."
When asked why Zoom Books wants so many Dutch-language books and whether it might sell to AI companies, the outlet received no response at publication time.
