S.3813

The CLEAR Act mandates that entities using copyrighted works in generative AI models must notify the Register of Copyrights.

The CLEAR Act, or Copyright Labeling and Ethical AI Reporting Act, requires individuals or entities using copyrighted works in training datasets for generative AI models to submit a notice to the Register of Copyrights. This notice must include a detailed summary of each copyrighted work and the URL of the training dataset if publicly available. The Register will maintain a publicly accessible database of these notices. Failure to comply can result in civil penalties, injunctions, and the awarding of attorney's fees to the copyright owner.
