Relating to the ownership of artificial intelligence output and trained artificial intelligence

This bill relates to the ownership of artificial intelligence output and trained artificial intelligence. The bill defines “artificial intelligence”, “input”, “output”, “train”, and “user”. The bill makes a user who provides input to an artificial intelligence (AI) the owner of the output generated by the AI that was based on the user’s input, provided that the output does not infringe on a third party’s existing copyrights or intellectual property rights. The bill makes a person that trains an AI 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. _____ If a person uses AI as a part of the person’s employment duties, the bill makes the resulting output or trained AI the property of the person’s employer if certain conditions detailed in the bill are met. The bill shall not be construed to grant ownership of property if such a grant of ownership would infringe on a preexisting copyright or other intellectual property right.
