Summary
The bill says anyone who inputs data into an artificial‑intelligence system and causes it to produce content automatically owns that content, unless a terms‑of‑service or contract says otherwise. It also gives the person who trains an AI the ownership of the resulting AI model, provided the training data was lawfully obtained and they haven’t transferred those rights. This clarifies property rights for AI creators and users in Iowa.
