I didn't work on the AI policy stuff at EFF, but the last time I remember this question explicitly coming up was in the Google Books case, where Google cited language model training as an example of a fair use of book scanning (more than a decade ago, when it wasn't yet obvious how powerful language models would become). I don't recall if EFF specifically endorsed that example, but we did support Google's overall position. I'd estimate a decent chance EFF will say that there isn't a right under existing copyright law to restrict machines from learning from copyrighted works. Remember that EFF usually does not want copyright rights to be stronger. (Probably the most general way to put it is that EFF basically always wants new uses of creative works made possible by technology not to be governed by copyright -- to have their benefits accrue to users.) (I worked at EFF from 2001 to 2020.) Edit: you could look at Jaron Lanier's stuff for the opposing view; I don't know if he has any specific technical or legal proposals.
