The terms prohibit use of Bedrock to generate content that infringes third-party intellectual property rights and place responsibility on customers for ensuring generated content complies with intellectual property law. AWS does not warrant that model outputs are free of intellectual property issues.

This provision allocates intellectual property compliance risk entirely to the customer for all content generated through Bedrock, including potential copyright infringement claims arising from model outputs, which is operationally significant for organizations using Bedrock in commercial content generation workflows.
Interpretive note: The legal framework governing copyright liability for AI-generated content is unsettled; how this provision interacts with evolving case law and regulatory guidance creates interpretive uncertainty regarding the practical enforceability and scope of customer liability under this clause.
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 →The updated terms establish that Reserved Cache Nodes and Amazon DynamoDB Reserved Capacity purchases are noncancellable obligations, and you will owe the full amount charged for the duration of the term you selected, even if the AWS agreement is terminated. For Kiro Free Tier users, the revised policy authorizes AWS to store your inputs for up to 60 days for purposes of detecting agreement violations and improving detection capabilities. You can review your existing reserved capacity commitments and their terms at any time, but the updated language does not provide an opt-out mechanism for this noncancellation obligation.
View change record →This new high-severity provision explicitly prohibits IP-infringing content generation and assigns responsibility to customers for IP compliance, addressing potential liability exposure from generative AI outputs.
View full change record →Under this clause, customers are responsible for intellectual property compliance of all AI-generated content produced through Bedrock. The agreement does not provide indemnification for intellectual property claims arising from model outputs and places the compliance obligation on the deploying customer.

"You may not use Amazon Bedrock to generate content that infringes the intellectual property rights of others. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of Amazon Bedrock and any content you generate through Amazon Bedrock does not violate applicable laws, including laws relating to intellectual property.— Excerpt from AWS Bedrock's AWS Service Terms
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages U.S. copyright law, including questions about whether AI-generated content can infringe training data copyrights, which is an area of active litigation and regulatory development. The EU's Copyright Directive and text and data mining provisions are relevant for EU customers. No enforcement agency has established definitive guidance on AI output copyright infringement liability as of the document date. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High for organizations using Bedrock in commercial content generation at scale. The customer-side responsibility allocation means IP claims from third parties arising from Bedrock outputs are not contractually AWS's liability; the enforceability of this allocation has not been definitively tested in court regarding AI-generated content. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU customers face exposure under the EU Copyright Directive's AI training data provisions. U.S. customers face exposure under ongoing copyright litigation regarding generative AI output. Organizations in publishing, marketing, and creative services industries have the highest operational exposure. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Legal teams should assess whether existing IP indemnification clauses in downstream customer contracts can be met where Bedrock is used to generate deliverable content. Procurement teams should consider whether IP liability insurance or additional contractual protections are appropriate for high-volume content generation use cases. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations using Bedrock for commercial content generation should establish review processes for AI-generated outputs, particularly for content that closely resembles specific existing works. AI governance policies should document the IP risk assessment process for Bedrock-powered content workflows.
