Navigating the Nexus of AI Revolution and Copyright Law: Innovation and Implication

The rapid development in artificial intelligence led to algorithms that were more sophisticated as well as capable of inventing original artistic creations. Hence, this paper attempts to understand the complex interplay between the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence into the current copyright law developed after its invention into the digital world. This led to problems such as the ownership of the content being provided by a computer-controlled robot. As AI technologies increasingly generate creative works-ranging from literature, art, music, culture to visual art-the traditional frameworks of copyright face significant scrutiny. This study examines key issues such as authorship, ownership, and originality in the context of AI-generated content. It discusses the implications for creators, industries, and legal systems, highlighting the need for adaptive legal frameworks that balance innovation with protection of intellectual property rights. Through an inferential analysis of theories entitled as Modicum of Creativity, Test of Skill and Judgment, and Sweat of the Brow, current case law, emerging trends, and potential policy reforms, this paper aims to provide insights into how stakeholders can navigate the evolving landscape of copyright in the age of AI, ultimately fostering a sustainable environment for creativity and innovation. Under the conventional copyright legal system, human writers are afforded protection for their creative works. However, AI challenges established legal principles since it lacks awareness and the capacity to assert rights. The study investigates the substantial human input perspective, which holds that AI is a tool and that the person who codes or controls the AI should own the copyright, with a focus on the Indian setting. It does this by analysing global viewpoints and Indian copyright law
