ABSTRACT
With the fast-paced generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems that have been spreading, there have been profound and yet unnoticed changes within the global intellectual property laws. It was only normal that traditional copyright laws based on the unchallengeable notion that only ‘human authorship’, can be protected, are now far less prepared to present the challenges of machine-generated creative works, the large-scale ingestion of copyrighted content for training AI, and the deployment of deepfake technology for harmful purposes. This article carries out a detailed study of these combined issues, especially highlighting the ‘Indian legal system’ as represented in the Copyright Act, 1957. Besides, it studies the ‘United States’, the European Union’s, the United Kingdom’s, and Japan’s’ laws to show differences in the opinions about copyright of AI-generated works, TDM exceptions, and responsibility structures.
Keywords: Generative artificial intelligence, Intellectual property, copyright, creative works, deepfake, TDM.
