HELLFIRE https://www.theregister.com/2025/07/24/ai_copyright_bill_floated/ A bipartisan pair of US Senators introduced a bill this week that would protect copyrighted content from being used for AI training without the owner’s permission. … If passed into law, the AI Accountability and Personal Data Protection Act [PDF] from Senators Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) would add a new federal tort allowing individuals to sue companies that use copyrighted works or personally identifiable information to train AI without the owner’s express prior consent … however, it does present both personally identifiable information and copyrighted material as types of “covered data” that require the data owner’s prior consent to be used for training. … 2nd bolded point I can get behind.
