ABSTRACT
The rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is fundamentally reshaping the landscape of intellectual property (IP) across the globe, and India is no exception. This research explores what the integration of AI means for the future of IP laws in India, how current legal frameworks are coping with AI- generated works, and why urgent legal reform is necessary to ensure innovation is both protected and promoted in this new digital age. The article critically examines Indian IP law’s current approach to authorship, ownership, and patentability in the context of AI systems capable of autonomously generating creative and inventive outputs.
Furthermore, the article investigates ethical dilemmas, enforcement challenges, and the implications for traditional creators and industries. Despite increasing discourse, there remains a significant gap in India’s legal and policy landscape—namely, the absence of clear guidelines on IP rights for AI-generated works and limited judicial interpretation. This research argues that without timely and adaptive legal reform, India risks falling behind in both AI innovation and the global IP race. Ultimately, it calls for a proactive, inclusive policy framework that balances technological advancement with creator rights and public interest.
