Schiff Proposes Law Requiring AI Firms Disclose Copyrighted Training Data or Face Fines

New law proposed by Rep. Adam Schiff would require AI developers to disclose copyrighted works used to train models to U.S. Copyright Office.

Failing to comply would result in civil penalty of at least $5,000 per incident.

Hollywood writers, actors, and unions support the law as a way to protect intellectual property and ensure fair compensation.

Comes as creators fight for compensation for works potentially used to train AI without permission.
