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

SF 2199 clarifies ownership rights for artificial intelligence (AI) output and trained AI models in Iowa. It states that a person who provides input to an AI owns the resulting output (like text or images) they create, as long as it doesn't infringe on others' copyrights. The person who trains an AI model using lawful data owns the trained AI, unless they've already sold those rights. If an employee uses AI for work within their job duties under employer direction, the employer owns the output or trained AI, provided it doesn't violate existing copyrights. The law explicitly states it doesn't override preexisting copyright or intellectual property rights.
