AI Transparency: Creators Gain Right to Check If Works Trained AI Models.

This law establishes a new legal tool allowing creators to determine if their copyrighted works were used to train Artificial Intelligence (AI) models. Copyright owners can now request a court subpoena compelling AI developers to disclose records identifying the specific works used. This aims to increase accountability for AI companies and strengthen the financial rights of artists and writers.
Key points
Copyright owners can request a subpoena to force AI developers to disclose records showing which of the owner's copyrighted works were used to train generative AI models.
The process requires the creator to file a sworn declaration stating a good faith belief that their work was used.
If an AI developer fails to comply with the subpoena, it creates a legal assumption (rebuttable presumption) that the copyrighted work was copied.
The disclosed information can only be used for the purpose of protecting the copyright owner's rights.
