ABSTRACT

An empty page has the power to overwhelm and dishearten the writer. At the end, it all comes down to that one thought that helps you channelize your idea into the perfect piece of work. However, a blank page may also lead the author towards an abbreviated route and employ Artificial Intelligence as their assistant or rather ‘ghostwriter’. This might seem to expedite the process for the author; however, the reader seems to be indirectly defrauded through this, considering the author claims absolute originality when, in reality, an external unknown entity assisted unofficially. This study aims to understand the various aspects that revolve around the concept of ghost- writing with respect to Artificial Intelligence, specifically. The study shall commence by laying a foundation for the concept of ghost-writing and its gradual evolution. Further, it shall delve into the copyright framework of different countries and provide a comparative analysis of India with other countries, therefore, highlighting Artificial Intelligence’s recognition with the concept of ghost-writing. Additionally, the study shall outline the ethical and policy concerns revolving around the practice of ghost-writing. Hence, the core objective of this research is to underscore the evolving role of Artificial Intelligence in reshaping the practice of ghost-writing.
