ABSTRACT
As artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly contributes to creative fields like art, literature, music, and software, traditional copyright laws, rooted in human authorship and originality are facing serious challenges. This article explores whether AI-generated or AI-assisted works can qualify for copyright, who should be considered the legal author, and how core concepts like originality, fixation, and authorship should be redefined. It also examines broader ethical and economic concerns such as fairness in attribution, transparency, cultural bias in AI models, and the impact on human creators. Focusing on both global perspectives and India’s specific legal context, the article proposes reforms like clearer definitions for AI involvement, co-authorship rules, AI disclosure requirements, and improved licensing of training data. It calls for balanced regulation that encourages innovation without compromising creators’ rights, and advocates for international harmonization, especially through platforms like WIPO to provide consistent legal standards for AI-generated content.
