Sen. Welch, Peter [D-VT]

S 2455

Senator Peter Welch (D-VT) introduced the TRAIN Act to help copyright holders (authors, musicians, artists, publishers) find out if their work was used to train AI models. It would let them subpoena AI companies for training data records when they have a good-faith belief their copyrighted material was ingested. The bill shifts the burden onto AI developers to maintain and produce training data documentation.
