AI Transparency: Creators Gain Power to Check If Works Train Artificial Intelligence.

This law establishes a new process allowing copyright owners (like artists and writers) to formally demand that AI companies disclose whether their protected works were used to train generative AI models. This mechanism uses a court-issued subpoena to ensure transparency regarding the data used by AI developers. The goal is to empower creators to protect their intellectual property and hold AI companies accountable for unauthorized use.
Key points
Copyright owners can request a court subpoena forcing AI developers to reveal records identifying their copyrighted works used in AI model training.
If an AI company fails to comply with the subpoena, it is legally presumed that they copied the copyrighted work, significantly aiding potential infringement lawsuits.
The law focuses on generative AI models (those creating images, text, audio) and aims to clarify data usage for intellectual property protection.
