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

Iowa's SSB 3013 defines key terms like "input," "output," and "trained artificial intelligence" to establish ownership rules. It states that a user who provides input to an AI owns the generated output (e.g., text, images) unless it infringes on existing copyrights. A person who trains an AI owns the resulting model if the training data was lawfully acquired and ownership wasn't transferred via contract. If an employee uses AI within their job duties under employer direction, the employer owns the output or trained AI, provided it doesn't violate third-party intellectual property rights.
