Wait. If this exception get adopted, does that mean one can pirate everything and use “AI training data” as a perfect defense? People doesn’t even need to have any hardware, thanks to cloud computing. All the proof you need is you used or intend to use said data for AI training purposes.

No. These kind of exemptions will only apply to ultra wealthy mega-corporations. End users will pay for access to copyrighted Material once when they consume the original material and then they can also pay an AI for its rehashed analysis of the material they got for free and that you already paid for previously.

Yup, you can download as many youtube videos, news articles and images as you like!

You can get a lot of things for free by lying. It’s called fraud.

Anyway, preventing rent-seeking on AI training just means that the copyright mafia can’t charge you money for what you do with your own property. It doesn’t necessarily mean that a copy for training doesn’t have to be legally obtained.
