Bill > S2455

This bill, known as the TRAIN Act (Transparency and Responsibility for Artificial Intelligence Networks Act), creates a new administrative subpoena process to help copyright owners determine if their copyrighted works have been used in training artificial intelligence (AI) models. The bill defines key terms such as "artificial intelligence," "AI model," and "generative AI model," and establishes a procedure where copyright owners can request a subpoena from a federal district court clerk to obtain copies or records of training materials used by AI developers. To obtain a subpoena, the copyright owner must file a sworn declaration stating their good faith belief that their copyrighted work was used in training the AI model and that they intend to use the information solely to protect their rights. The developer receiving the subpoena must then expeditiously disclose the requested records, and the copyright owner must maintain the confidentiality of those records. The bill includes protections against bad faith requests, with potential sanctions for those who abuse the subpoena process, and creates a rebuttable presumption that the AI developer copied copyrighted work if they fail to comply with a subpoena. This legislation aims to provide transparency and accountability in the rapidly evolving field of generative AI by giving copyright holders a mechanism to investigate potential unauthorized use of their intellectual property.
