Ted Lieu

Each of these activities I laid out describe what Donald Trump did, his efforts to bully election officials, overturn the results of the election and deceive the American people.

Unfortunately, the actions of this Chair in ignoring a bipartisan Congressional Subpoena have damaged the ability of this Committee to get information from witnesses and damaged the rule of law.

As the president said during his State of the Union address, history is watching.

What if the software company marketed their software saying, hey, use us and we can generate for you lyrics in the style of Taylor Swift?

If a person uses one of these software tools to generate content for their own enjoyment, do you have a position on whether that software tool or that person needs to pay anything to the copyright holder?

Do you believe AI models that scrape copyrighted material to train themselves need to pay the people who own this copyrighted material?

I believe AI has benefited society and will continue to benefit society.

I thank Representative Larson for his terrific leadership on Social Security. Many people here have been hearing about Social Security 2,100. I just want to talk a little bit about what is actually in this amazing bill. It increases a…

When Democrats were in control, we put people over politics and passed the Inflation Reduction Act to lower costs and to create new jobs. We are also working with the Biden administration to eliminate junk fees, and we have legislation to…

By direction of the Democratic Caucus, I offer a privileged resolution and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 931 Resolved, That the following named Member be, and is hereby, elected to…

I think the reason is because they are based in Vietnam.

So, I just went on my phone and went on FMovies, and it is still up, and I can watch Willy Wonka for free without paying for it.

Get them to block the site today. People should block the site today because you cannot defend this.

This particular site for example is not defensible, and certainly not for seven years.

Thank you, Chair Issa and Ranking Member Johnson, for holding this important hearing.

If they don't exist in your organization, I ask Chair of this Committee to call in a hearing with a witness that does represent the Members that could block this site and block it now.

The White House has provided over 35,000 pages of financial documents, over 2,000 pages of Treasury reports, 36 hours of testimony, and Republicans still cannot point to a single policy decision or action that Joe Biden has taken that has…

I just want to request the Chairman to maybe set up a classified briefing on what constitutes force, especially in terms of cyber.

I thank the State Department for doing so.

It would seem that if we're going to authorize force, we better give our military the ability to use the force they need too win.

If the Administration had some special operations unit go and take out an Iranian scientist who was working on nuclear weapons, would that constitute force?

I was proud to have been a cosponsor of the Act. The MMA transformed the way songwriters, music publishers, and tech platforms operate under streaming models.

You have also said that essentially perhaps it should be essentially a Federal right for voice recordings because right now audio is not copyrighted, correct?

Ultimately for this you are just going to have to rely on trust, right, that someone actually discloses they use AI to help them with whatever creative work they are trying to copyright.

You are currently investigating the issue of whether it constitutes essentially fair use if a large language AI model trains itself on copyrighted works.
