Artificial intelligence is reshaping creative production, dissemination, and consumption at an unprecedented pace. As AI systems increasingly rely on large volumes of data and generate outputs that intersect with protected works, existing copyright frameworks are facing new interpretive and policy challenges.
Across jurisdictions, policymakers, courts, creators, and technology developers continue to engage with unresolved questions around AI training practices, attribution, licensing, and transparency. The lack of a settled global approach has resulted in diverging regulatory models, each with distinct implications for innovation and creative markets.
Authored by Jameela Sahiba β Associate Director β AI and Public Affairs, The Dialogue, this paper analyses key areas of contestation in the evolving AIβcopyright landscape and situates Indiaβs policy choices within a broader comparative and international context. It examines emerging approaches without presupposing outcomes, highlighting the trade-offs inherent in different regulatory pathways.
What principles should guide Indiaβs response to AI-driven creative technologies?
How can copyright frameworks adapt while maintaining balance between innovation and creatorsβ rights?
The paper outlines a structured lens to engage with these questions and identifies policy directions that merit further consideration.
