Summary
The TRAIN Act lets a copyright holder ask a federal court clerk to issue a subpoena to an AI developer for copies or records that show which of the holder’s works were used in training a generative AI model. It applies only to the requester’s own copyrighted material and requires the developer to disclose the information quickly and keep it confidential. The goal is to give owners a way to protect their rights in the era of AI.
