ABSTRACT
The advent of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed creative industries and tested conventional perceptions about copyright law. Generative AI models like ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion are built on enormous datasets comprising copyrighted work, thereby creating problematic concerns regarding authorship, ownership, and infringement. This research embarks on a comparative and doctrinal analysis of the law implications of AI training on copyright materials between jurisdictions such as the United States, the European Union, and India. It considers whether doctrines like fair use, fair dealing, transformative use, and text-and-data mining (TDM) exceptions apply to AI systems. The study discovers that current copyright regimes fall short of tackling algorithmic creativity and suggests a balanced legal framework through compulsory licensing, transparency in datasets, and sui generis rights. The paper concludes that harmonized international norms are needed to protect creators' rights while promoting responsible AI innovation.
