Peter Welch, a Senator from Vermont, recently introduced a new bill called the "Transparency and Accountability in Artificial Intelligence Act" (TRAIN Act), aimed at increasing transparency for AI developers. If passed, this legislation would allow copyright holders to issue subpoenas to relevant parties to obtain training records if they believe their works have been used without authorization to train AI models.

Apple CEO Tim Cook stated in a media interview that, despite the widespread belief that Apple lags behind competitors in the AI field, he emphasizes that Apple is more focused on providing the best experience for users rather than competing for the title of market leader. Cook admitted, 'We are not the first in AI, but we do it in the way that is most adaptable to customers.' He pointed out that Apple does not mind not being a pioneer in certain areas because the company values product perfection more. 'We would rather launch truly outstanding products that make a meaningful contribution to people, rather than rushing to be first.'
