Antivirus and security companies don't need licenses to scan copyrighted materials to look for threats or vulnerabilities.
AI similarly is not executing, deploying, reselling or redistributing the copyrighted material. It's using the data to build a model. Security software distills the down data more, but it's still the same principle.
