argument: Normativa/Regulations - Intellectual Property Law


According to an article from The National Law Review, the Generative AI Copyright Disclosure Act of 2024 introduces new requirements for AI developers. The legislation mandates that companies must notify the U.S. Copyright Office about the copyrighted works used in training their AI models. This notification must occur within 30 days before or after releasing an AI system. The law aims to create transparency, allowing creators to identify if their works are being utilized in AI training sets, and to pursue appropriate licensing or compensation. Critics argue that the act could impose significant compliance burdens on AI companies, potentially stifling innovation and advantaging larger corporations. The bill also raises concerns about the feasibility of compliance for AI systems trained on large, diverse datasets gathered from the internet.
