Whatever you put into Bedrock and whatever comes out of it belongs to you, not to AWS — AWS explicitly says it doesn't own your inputs or the AI-generated outputs.
This analysis describes what AWS Bedrock's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The provision clarifies the intellectual property baseline for the service relationship, establishing that AWS does not acquire or claim rights to customer inputs or derivative outputs. This allocation of ownership rights affects how customers may use, license, or commercialize outputs generated through the service without requiring separate IP assignment or licensing negotiations with AWS.
The updated terms establish new data-sharing mechanisms for users of Anthropic models on Amazon Bedrock. Specifically, AWS now explicitly authorizes notification to Anthropic of metadata present in requests sent to certain Anthropic products (e.g., Claude Code, computer use features), enabling Anthropic to conduct product-level usage attribution. Additionally, the terms introduce AWS WAF AI traffic monetization, which permits AWS to facilitate payment transactions between content publishers and buyers by sharing pricing, payment, and configuration information with payment providers and facilitators; the updated terms clarify that AWS does not provide regulated financial services and is not a party to fund flows, and that users' interactions with payment providers are governed by separate terms between the user and those parties. Users employing these features should review what metadata may be embedded in their requests and understand their own obligations to payment providers.
View change record →The updated terms establish that customers operating Amazon RDS databases on end-of-life software versions are now required to upgrade to supported versions. The agreement authorizes AWS to scan extension code used with Trusted Language Extensions for security and performance purposes, and establishes that extension code constitutes customer content. AWS disclaims responsibility for service failures caused by extensions or end-of-life database software. If a customer does not upgrade before an engine reaches end of life, AWS may snapshot the customer's data and delete the instance or cluster running the unsupported software, after providing prior notice of the engine end-of-life date.
View change record →The updated terms establish new operational requirements for any organization using Amazon Connect Talent to make or inform employment decisions. Customers must now obtain legally adequate privacy notices and consents from job applicants before their data is processed by the service. The terms require customers to review all AI output before making hiring decisions, implement processes for applicants to request information about the AI's role in decisions, and ensure their use of the tool complies with applicable labor, anti-discrimination, disability, data privacy, AI, wiretap, recordkeeping, and biometrics laws. Customers can configure an AI services opt-out policy through AWS Organizations to prevent their data from being used to train or improve AWS AI technologies.
View change record →Business customers retain ownership of their data submitted to Bedrock and of the AI-generated outputs — however, they remain responsible for ensuring that those outputs do not infringe third-party intellectual property rights, which AWS does not warrant.

"As between you and AWS, you retain ownership of your content that you submit to Amazon Bedrock. AWS does not claim ownership of your content or the outputs generated by the models based on your content.— Excerpt from AWS Bedrock's AWS Service Terms
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision engages copyright law (17 U.S.C.), the US Copyright Office's ongoing rulemaking on AI-generated content (Copyright Registration Guidance: Works Containing AI-Generated Material, 88 Fed. Reg. 16190, 2023), and EU Directive 2019/790 (Copyright in the Digital Single Market). The question of whether AI-generated outputs are copyrightable remains unsettled in most jurisdictions, creating IP risk for customers relying on ownership of Bedrock outputs for commercial purposes. No single regulatory enforcement authority; IP disputes are primarily civil litigation matters.
