TRAIN Act Aims to Keep AI Honest with Artists

Senator Peter Welch's TRAIN Act strides into the legislative arena, targeting AI's backstage use of copyrighted works. If passed, artists can subpoena AI developers’ training data to sniff out unauthorized use, backed by giants like Sony, Universal, and Warner. Non-compliance? Automatically guilty until proven innocent. While compensation isn’t on the menu, transparency is. Although current Congress is busier than a neural network on crunch time, the bill gears up for a 2025 reintroduction, spotlighting the tug-of-war between creativity and AI innovation.
