Rights holders argue that AI using their work without a license should be considered "unauthorized derivative work" — an infringement of copyright law.
Meanwhile, AI startups insist that their models comply with fair-use doctrine, which grants them some leeway to others' works.

He believes that future regulations may explicitly forbid AI data scraping.
"They can train models on data that's not universally available to customers, and tell them it's licensed and compliant."
