Interesting. That could be a huge disadvantage for the EU and it's companies that want to use AI and also often can't give their Data to third parties. But I am not sure a neural net is even considered a DB. Because when this was created they clearly had structured Information accessed by people in mind. There has to be some distinction otherwise I make a db that stores digits of PI in a file and if you publish part of it, that is considered substantial enough, you are infringing on my DB rights.

If I copy your database, that violates copyright. I generate the same data using my own process, it doesn't.

That's different from creative works where it's implausible to claim that you created the same work independently of someone else.
