TRAIN Act

This bill would let a copyright owner, or someone acting for them, ask the clerk of a federal district court to issue a subpoena to a developer of a generative artificial intelligence model. The subpoena would require the developer to disclose copies or records identifying which of that owner's copyrighted works were used to train the model. The requester must file a sworn statement of a good faith belief that their works were used and must keep the records confidential. If a developer does not comply, the court would presume the developer copied the work, unless the developer shows otherwise. Courts could sanction people who request subpoenas in bad faith.
