Senator Introduces Bill To Compel More Transparency From AI Developers 14
A new bill introduced by Sen. Peter Welch (D-Vt) aims to make it easier for human creators to find out if their work was used without permission to train artificial intelligence. NBC News reports: The Transparency and Responsibility for Artificial Intelligence Networks (TRAIN) Act would enable copyright holders to subpoena training records of generative AI models, if the holder can declare a "good faith belief" that their work was used to train the model. The developers would only need to reveal the training material that is "sufficient to identify with certainty" whether the copyright holder's works were used. Failing to comply would create a legal assumption -- until proven otherwise -- that the AI developer did indeed use the copyrighted work. [...]
In a news release, Welch said the TRAIN Act has been endorsed by several organizations -- including the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA), the American Federation of Musicians, and the Recording Academy -- as well as major music labels -- including Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group and Sony Music Group.

to compel more transparency in the senate? That seems like a far more pressing issue.
Do you mean the senate floor should have plexiglass installed? I don't understand.

This is alleged subpoena power, to be able to confer the article III standing upon the court issuing the subpoena to compel the records, has to establish that a training an ai model is violating one of the exclusive rights of the copyright holder in 17 USC 106, which you may have noticed does not include using the copyrighted works for training / learning. This means essential hurdle is that machine learning is on the opposite side of the idea/expression paradigm from the creative works themselves, because

LOL wut?
"....an AI model is just a list of statistical measurements from the training data."
LOL wut?
Is an exact copy merely a "statistical measurement? By this standard, no copyright holder could control reproduction.
Bad faith arguments are apparently profitable, but lies are still lies.

All you need to do is produce material that doesn't exist and if you don't, you're guilty of using material as it was intended. Good thing we'll soon have a convicted felon as president.

Oh, come on! It's not like the convicted felon is hiring all his criminal friends and refusing to run background checks on them.

So they have to turn over everything.
Otherwise, how do you know that it wasn't in what wasn't turned over?
