The licensing doesn't matter, most AI are trained off proprietary and copyrighted data. There's still a lot of talks in governments about whether this is legal or not, but at this point the cat's out of the bag and I doubt we'll regress back to using smaller amounts of data.
In Europe they are currently trying to publish a law that sources have to be given by AI if the result is based on proprietary source material. See https://www.reuters.com/technology/eu-lawmakers-committee-reaches-deal-artificial-intelligence-act-2023-04-27/
Aside from the fact that I don't think this law will pass, I doubt it'll be effective at all. Companies will just move AI training to countries where it is legal. The most the EU can do right now is play whack-a-mole and start blocking AIs that don't meet its requirements, but at that point people will just host mirrors or use a VPN. It's just not enforceable, and the EU knows that, which is why they're so stressed out trying to figure out a reasonable law regarding AI.
Yeah I think so too.
