Senator introduces bill to compel more transparency from AI developers


The legislation, if passed, would allow copyright holders to subpoena AI training data when trying to prove that their work was used without their consent.

A new Senate bill aims to make it easier for human creators to find out if their work was used without permission to train artificial intelligence, marking the latest effort to tackle the lack of transparency in generative AI development. The explosion of accessible generative AI technologies has triggered a slew of legal and ethical questions for artists, who fear these tools will enable others to recreate their work without consent, credit or compensation. As legal tensions rise, more than 36,000 creative professionals — including Oscar-winning actor Julianne Moore, author James Patterson and Radiohead’s Thom Yorke — have signed an open letter urging the prohibition of using human art to train AI without permission.
