Doesn't this just box out anyone who can't afford to spend tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars on Al development?

The government could allow the donation of original art for the purpose of tech research to be a tax write-off, and then there can be non-profits that work between artists and tech developers to collect all the legally obtained art, and grant access to those that need it for projects

That's just one option off the top of my head, which I'm sure would have some procedural obstacles, and chances for problems to be baked in, but I'm sure there are other options as well.
