A bill to require a notice be submitted to the Register of Copyrights with respect to copyrighted works used in building generative artificial intelligence models, and for other purposes.

S. 3813 would establish a notification requirement for copyrighted works used in developing generative artificial intelligence systems. Under this bill, if copyrighted material is used to train or build a generative AI model, the copyright holder would need to submit a notice to the Register of Copyrights. This requirement would create a formal record of which copyrighted works are being used in AI development.

For everyday citizens, this bill could affect how AI companies handle copyrighted content like books, articles, images, and other creative works when training their models. The notification system would potentially give copyright holders more visibility into how their work is being used in AI development, though the bill does not specify what rights or remedies would follow from such notification. The bill is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full Senate.
