Intersection Of Copyright And AI: Assessing The Legality Of Sampling AI-Generated Music In India


Jitasha Bahl, O.P. Jindal Global University


ABSTRACT


The advent of AI in music production raises complex challenges for copyright law, particularly in India, where traditional frameworks inadequately address the nuances of AI-generated works. This paper examines whether sampling AI-generated music should be deemed illegal, arguing against such a stance due to the absence of originality and human authorship in AI outputs. After evaluating three potential approaches— defining authorship, requiring transparency, and placing AI-generated works in the public domain—the paper advocates for the latter as the most viable solution. This framework fosters innovation, avoids legal ambiguities, and ensures a balanced integration of AI and human creativity in music production.
