This bill establishes new legal definitions and ownership rights concerning artificial intelligence (AI) output and trained AI in the state of Iowa. It defines key terms such as "artificial intelligence," "input," "output," "train," and "user." According to the bill, a user who provides input to an AI will own the output generated from that input, as long as it does not infringe on any existing copyrights or intellectual property rights. Additionally, a person who trains an AI will own the resulting AI, provided the training data was lawfully acquired and ownership rights have not been transferred to another party.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that if an individual uses AI as part of their employment, the output or trained AI will belong to their employer, contingent upon specific conditions being met, including the lawful acquisition of training data and adherence to the employer's direction. Importantly, the bill clarifies that it does not grant ownership rights that would infringe upon preexisting copyrights or intellectual property rights. Overall, this legislation aims to clarify the ownership landscape for AI-generated content and trained AI systems.
