The bill amends Arkansas Code Title 18, Chapter 4, Subchapter 1 to establish clear ownership rights regarding content generated by generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools. It stipulates that individuals who provide input or directives to such tools will own the generated content, provided it does not infringe on existing copyrights or intellectual property rights. Additionally, individuals who provide data for model training will own the resulting trained model, as long as the training data is lawfully acquired and ownership rights have not been transferred through a contract.

However, the bill includes provisions for employees who use generative AI tools as part of their job duties. In such cases, the resulting model training data and generated content will belong to the employer, provided the use of the AI tool is within the scope of employment and under the employer's direction. The bill also clarifies that ownership rights do not extend to content that infringes on pre-existing copyrights or intellectual property rights, regardless of the use of a generative AI tool.
