The "Copyright Labeling and Ethical AI Reporting Act," or CLEAR Act , mandates that individuals or entities using copyrighted works to train or release generative AI models must submit a notice to the Register of Copyrights. This notice must contain a sufficiently detailed summary of each copyrighted work included in the training dataset, along with its Uniform Resource Locator (URL) if publicly available. The bill defines key terms such as "artificial intelligence," "copyrighted work" (registered under Title 17), "generative AI model," and "training dataset" to clarify its scope and application. Notices are required 30 days before commercial use or release for new models, or 30 days after the Register issues regulations for existing models. Failure to submit the required notice allows copyright owners to bring an action, potentially leading to civil penalties of at least $5,000 per instance, capped at $2,500,000 annually, along with injunctions and attorney's fees. The Register of Copyrights will establish regulations for the notice's form and content within 180 days and create a publicly available online database of all submitted notices. The Act takes effect 180 days after enactment, aiming to increase transparency in AI model training.
