Not a lawyer. 1. EU yes / US not so easy. Under EU law, content of a database can be copyrighted. I argue the weights of ML model are like the content in a database. Under US law the arrangement of data needs to be creative / original. Creative / original assumes a human expressing himself. Maybe the design of the ML model, selection of training material and selection of hyperparameter justify a copyright claim on a database of model weights. 2. Yes as resources were used to create it.
