There's no need to "make it legal", things are legal by default until a law is passed to make them illegal. Or a court precedent is set that establishes that an existing law applies to the new thing under discussion.
Training an AI doesn't involve copying the training data, the AI model doesn't literally "contain" the stuff it's trained on. So it's not likely that existing copyright law makes it illegal to do without permission.
Yes, and that's already happened: it's called "copyright law." You can't mix things with incompatible licenses into a derivative work and pretend it's okay.
You have to copy something before copyright law applies.
