I don't get it. So AI works can't be copyrighted but training AI using copyrighted materials are copyright infringement?

  Only humans can violate laws: the AI isn't using copyrighted materials, it's human owner/operator is. The human owner/operator did not have proper licensing to perform this action, trying to argue "but with an AI" doesn't change the act.

    Not disagreeing with your end conclusion, but surely the concept of a limited company exists exactly to have a distinction between legal entities, some of which are not humans but may still violate laws. Take it this way: if the EU fines a company for GDPR violations, it doesn't really fine an individual. Perhaps no individual broke the law explicitly, but as a collective the end result is a law violation.

      Technically yes, but how that is handled is up to the country. In the US, a concept known as "corporate personhood" exists. A strange concept, because if a company murders someone, the company, nor any of its executives, go to prison. The law is weird.
