Ms. Mansi Shukla, Mr. Harshit Mohan · 2024
The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has brought about significant changes in various facets of our existence, altering not only how content is generated but also how it is consumed. AI-generated content, such as music, art, and literature, has become increasingly prevalent, raising a range of legal and ethical challenges regarding copyright ownership, infringement, and ethics. This paper explores the interaction between AI and copyright law, examining the legal implications of AI-generated content and its impact on copyright ownership along with the ethical considerations of using AI to create content, and its implications on the copyright law. Additionally, the paper shall also examine role of AI in detecting and enforcing copyright infringement. The paper shall provide recommendations for adapting copyright laws to accommodate the challenges posed by AI generated content. The discuss on the potential for new legal frameworks that could better accommodate AI-generated content, including the possibility of recognizing AI as a legal author is also made while considering the potential for alternative licensing arrangements that could better balance the interests of creators, users, and the public. Overall, this paper aims to provide insights into the legal and ethical complexities arising from the interaction between AI and copyright law, and to encourage further discussion and research in this important area while discussing relevant case studies like Raghav, where a work by an AI system was first given the copyright and then revoked. The challenges posed by AI-generated content are significant, but with careful consideration and collaboration, a legal and ethical framework can be developed that enable us to harness the potential of AI while protecting the interests of creators, users, and the public
