Yeah, that's what the link I posted also discusses (but then goes into much detail, but then offers no actual resolution).

I guess we will have to wait for cases to be brought and resolved at the courts. Not a great recipe to be the leader in AI, it must be said.

An updated copyright bill from legislature, or even positive regulatory action from the executive branch would speed things up and give much planning certainty to actors here in the US.

The rest of the world won't be waiting though -- maybe Europe, but Europe sadly doesn't really matter that much anymore :(
