A bill for an act relating to the ownership of artificial intelligence output and trained artificial intelligence.

HF 2691 clarifies ownership rights for artificial intelligence (AI) content and trained AI systems in Iowa. It states that users who provide input to an AI to generate content (like text, images, or predictions) own that output unless the AI's terms of service or a separate contract specifies otherwise. The bill also grants ownership of the trained AI system itself to the person who legally trained it with their own data, provided they haven't transferred that ownership via contract. These rules apply directly to Iowa residents and businesses using AI tools or developing AI systems.
