EU AI Act

AI training and copyright

Can AI be trained on protected works?

Allowed with limits

AI model providers must respect opt-outs and summarise training data

Holding

Providers of general-purpose AI models must put in place a policy to respect EU copyright, including rights holders' opt-outs, and publish a summary of the content used for training.

Your EU opt-out has teeth: model providers must respect it and disclose what they trained on.

Principles it bears on

• SupportsRights holders can reserve their works from AI training, but the opt-out must be machine-readable.
