AI ownership rules for users and workers
Under Arkansas law, you own AI-generated content when you provide the input or direction. This does not grant ownership of content that violates existing copyrights or other intellectual property rights. You own the model trained with your data or input when the training data was lawfully acquired. That rule does not apply if you transferred ownership rights through a contract or agreement. Employers instead own resulting training data and generated content when employees use AI within their job duties under employer direction and control.
