ABSTRACT

The music industry has been greatly impacted by the quick development of artificial intelligence (AI), which has made it possible to produce music that closely resembles the voices and styles of well-known performers. This presents significant ethical and legal issues around copyright infringement, originality, and fair use, even if it also creates fascinating opportunities for creative inquiry. Authorship and ownership conflicts arise because the current Indian Copyright Act of 1957 lacks precise definitions and measures to handle the complexity of AI-generated music and the question of liability still looks unclear. Further the mimicry of AI of the original artists puts them through a huge emotional turmoil as well as revenue concerns. This essay examines these issues, emphasizes Indian and international viewpoints, and makes suggestions for legal changes that strike a balance between artistic freedom and innovation.
