TLDR:
Key Points:
- Proposed bill would require those training AI models to disclose copyrighted works used
- AI firms may have to disclose copyrighted material used, but bill does not ban use of such content
A bill introduced in the US House of Representatives by Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA) would require individuals training AI models to disclose any copyrighted works used, applying retroactively. The Generative AI Copyright Disclosure Act would mandate detailed summaries of copyrighted works in training datasets, with submissions required within 30 days of an AI system being made public. Noncompliance would result in a penalty of at least $5,000. Schiff and creative trade groups are backing the legislation to protect artists from unauthorized use of their works in training AI models, which could devalue their content. Many artists have expressed concerns about the use of their works in training AI models without proper attribution.
