California's proposed A.B. 412 bill, which aims to require AI developers to disclose copyrighted training data, is facing strong opposition due to its impracticality. Critics argue that the bill demands information that is often unobtainable and that the U.S. Copyright Office lacks the necessary machine-readable data to comply. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) believes the law is unworkable and would disproportionately burden smaller developers and open-source initiatives, potentially consolidating power among larger AI companies.
