ABSTRACT

This paper explores the convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in the Indian context, drawing comparisons with the legislative frameworks of other countries. The analysis delves into the juristic aspects of AI, particularly its role in creation and innovation, and the resulting challenges to established IPR regimes. A critical aspect of the discussion centres on the legal personhood of AI. The paper examines ongoing debates surrounding whether AI can be considered a legal entity capable of owning or being credited with intellectual property. Through comparative studies, the paper investigates how different countries are approaching the legislative landscape surrounding AI and IPR. This comparative analysis aims to identify best practices and potential pitfalls for crafting an effective legal framework in India. The paper concludes by highlighting the need for a balanced approach that fosters innovation in AI while safeguarding the rights of creators and inventors. It emphasizes the importance of ongoing dialogue between policymakers, legal experts, and AI developers to establish a robust and adaptable legal framework for the future.
