Now we are facing an unprecedented growth of AI as a whole. Do you think is time for FSF elaborate a new version of GPL to incorporate the new challenges of AI in software development to keep protecting users freedom?

The problem of recent AI is about fair use of data, not about copyright. To solve the AI problem, we need laws to stop abuse of data rather than to stop copying of code.

Some portion of the "data" fed into these models is copyrighted, though. Github's copilot is trained on code. Does it violate the GPL to train an AI model on all GPL source code published out there?
