The US Congress has been actively working on legislation to address concerns around copyright owners’ rights in the context of AI model training. Representative Adam Schiff’s Generative AI Copyright Disclosure Act aims to provide transparency in AI model training by requiring creators of training datasets to submit a notice with the US Copyright Office containing a URL for the dataset and a summary of any copyrighted works used. While the bill has garnered support from the creative community, it could have significant implications for creators, developers of AI models, and the Copyright Office. If implemented, the Act could provide copyright owners with the means to determine whether their works have been used for training purposes and potentially give them leverage to seek licensing agreements with AI models. However, it may also burden AI models with reporting requirements and pose significant IT challenges for the Copyright Office. As the use of AI models continues to evolve, it remains to be seen whether a legislative solution is needed to address the complex issues surrounding copyright and AI model training.
