What’s in it

This bill relates to the ownership of artificial intelligence output and trained artificial intelligence (AI). The bill defines “artificial intelligence”, “input”, “output”, “train”, and “user”. The bill provides that a user whose input causes an AI to generate output is the owner of the output provided that the terms of use for the AI or a contract the user has with the owner of the AI does not contain a provision altering the ownership of generated output. If the AI’s terms of use or a contract between the owner of the AI and the user contains a provision relating to ownership of generated output, then the provision in the terms of service or contract shall apply.

Read the full explanation

The bill provides that a person who trains an AI is the owner of AI that results from the training if the training data was lawfully acquired and used for training purposes and the person has not transferred ownership rights of the resulting AI through a contract or agreement.
