Comment by Peter Welch

U.S. Senator from Vermont; lead sponsor of the bipartisan TRAIN Act on AI training data transparency
This is simple: if your work is used to train AI, there should be a way for you, the copyright holder, to determine that it's been used by a training model, and you should get compensated if it was. We need to give America's musicians, artists, and creators a tool to find out when AI companies are using their work to train models without artists' permission. Unverified source (2026)
