Training-data provenance and copyright register

Records the origin, licence and rights status of every source used to train or fine-tune a model so that the organisation can honour opt-outs, answer downstream questions and publish a truthful summary of training content.

How is it implemented?

Model developers keep a register of training sources that captures the source, the acquisition route, the licence or legal basis relied on, whether machine-readable rights reservations were checked and honoured, and the date of collection. A written copyright and rights policy sets out how crawls respect opt-out signals, how licensed and public-domain material is distinguished and how takedown or objection requests are handled. From the register the team generates the public summary of training content and the information pack that downstream integrators need. The register is updated on every new training run and reviewed by legal before a model is released.

Which legal duties does it serve?

Satisfies means the control, operated properly, does the work the duty asks for. Supports means it contributes but the duty needs more. The official text decides; open it before relying on either.

European Union 2 duties

Colorado (United States) 1 duty

Nepal 1 duty

Which risks does it address?

Subdomains of the MIT AI Risk Repository, with the incidents the AI Incident Database has recorded under each. Counts are live; they say how often a risk has materialised, not how well this control prevents it.

Which standards clauses does it correspond to?

Clause numbers only. A reference means the standard asks for overlapping work, so evidence may be reusable; it never means the standard discharges a legal duty.
