Generative AI should be considered transformative as far as the copyright of its training data is concerned, just like an artist with a memory of every painting and movie they've seen.
The EU recently released their AI regulation framework. It's actually sensible except for copyright stuff, where they fucked up royally. They require proper copyright license for training data, which means the EU is untenable for AI development. The EU is now condemned to be a user and not an innovator of AI.
Copyrighted training data WILL be used for AI, whether it needs to be done illegally or in countries that allow it. All you accomplish with copyright regulations on AI is taking your country out of the race.
