Bill Summary
AN ACT REGARDING THE OWNERSHIP OF MODEL TRAINING AND CONTENT GENERATED BY A GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TOOL; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
AI Summary
This bill establishes legal guidelines for ownership of content and model training data generated by artificial intelligence (AI) tools in Arkansas. The legislation specifies that when an individual uses a generative AI tool to create content or train a model, they will own the resulting output, provided the content does not infringe on existing copyrights or intellectual property rights, and the training data is lawfully acquired. However, if an employee is directed to use a generative AI tool as part of their job duties, the employer will own the resulting model training data and generated content, but only if the AI tool usage is within the scope of employment and under the employer's direction and control. Importantly, the bill emphasizes that ownership does not extend to content that violates pre-existing intellectual property rights, regardless of whether a generative AI tool was used in its creation. This legislation aims to provide clarity around AI-generated content ownership and protect both individual creators and employers in their use of AI technologies.
