I'm rather curious to see how the EU's privacy laws are going to handle this.

Yeah. Penalise it heavily so if you need to make a model, make manually vetting the data the most affordable option.

Ultimately, ensuring models are trained on safe, good, legal data, and not just random bullshit scraped off of the internet, will just be a net positive overall.

Along those lines, perhaps you put in a stipulation that you don't have to toss the model if you instead give the person a significant sum in royalties. After all, if their data isn't a lynchpin in the model, you didn't need it in the first place, and if it is crucial, you should pay them accordingly.

Punitive regulations seem to be the best way to make companies grow a sense of ethics.
