1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision engages the EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689), particularly Title IV requirements for transparency in AI system training data. Copyright law implications arise under 17 U.S.C. §106 and EU Copyright Directive Art. 4 (text and data mining exception), where opt-out mechanisms for AI training are increasingly required. GDPR Art. 22 applies if AI training on personal data embedded in creative content constitutes automated decision-making. The FTC's 2023 policy statement on AI and data practices is also relevant. Enforcement: European AI Office, FTC, copyright enforcement bodies. 2)
