GOVERNING THE SYNTHETIC MUSE: REGULATING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WITHIN THE INDIAN COPYRIGHT ARCHITECTURE AND INTERNATIONAL IP TREATIES.

Chandrika Valluri · Mahindra University

This paper looks at how Indian copyright law should handle AI generated content. It argues current rules don't clearly say who owns AI created work the person prompting it, the company that built the AI, or no one at all. It also argues AI companies scraping copyrighted material to train their models isn't properly covered by Indian law. To fix this, the paper suggests: charging AI companies a licensing fee to use copyrighted material, requiring them to be transparent about what data they use, and creating different rules depending on how much human input went into the final work.
