Summary

The AI Disclosure Bill, specifically the Generative AI Copyright Disclosure Act introduced by Congressman Adam Schiff, represents a pivotal legislative effort to regulate the intersection of intellectual property and artificial intelligence. The bill mandates that AI developers submit a notice to the Register of Copyrights detailing all copyrighted works used in their training datasets. This proposal gained significant traction following reports of OpenAI's use of YouTube transcripts to train its models, sparking a debate on the All-In Podcast regarding the boundaries of fair use and the potential for widespread copyright infringement. Beyond Schiff's federal proposal, the term AI disclosure encompasses a suite of legislative actions, including Ritchie Torres's H.R. 3831—which focuses on labeling AI-generated content—and state-level mandates like California's AB 2013 and New York's S2698, which address training data transparency and the use of AI in legal proceedings respectively. These bills collectively aim to mitigate risks ranging from intellectual property theft to catastrophic safety concerns, such as cyber attacks or the development of biological weapons.
