Can I propose a dataset from copyrighted images?

Question

I would like to use copyrighted images to analyse an AI model I am building. Images are used for non-commercial research/educational only.
I intend to make the dataset publicly available via URL links to the images (URLs stored in a text file)?
I would also like to demonstrate some images in my paper/report.
Would that be considered a copyright breach?

Yes, distributing to the public any licensed materials, licensed to you only,
would be considered a copyright breach.
If this is only to limited audience, such as your colleagues or classroom use,
this might be taken as licensed use.
You would need to examine carefully the terms of the license.
Some licenses allow distribution if the original copyright message is maintained.
