Bill > HR81

This resolution urges the United States Congress to amend sections 102 and 107 of Title 17 of the U.S. Code (which governs copyright law) to protect creative workers from potential displacement by artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Recognizing the rapid advancement of AI in producing written works, visual art, music, and computer code, the resolution proposes specific amendments to copyright law, including: (1) ensuring that only works created primarily by human beings are eligible for copyright protection, (2) declaring works created predominantly by non-human entities as public domain, (3) clarifying that using copyrighted works to train AI systems (known as "scraping") does not qualify as fair use and is harmful to the original work's market value, and (4) allowing Congress to implement additional protections for creative workers. The resolution acknowledges the uncertain future for the creative sector due to AI's exponential technological progress and seeks to minimize potential worker displacement by establishing clear legal boundaries around AI-generated content and copyright.
