Description 193-199
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not new anymore; it has become a new normal. In the present 3A era (Advanced, automated
and autonomous), the Next Rembrandt paintings, Shimon’s lyrics and songs and Bot Dylan’s Irish folk songs are the works
generated by the AI without any considerable human contribution. In the US, the Copyright Act, 1976 does not protect the
works generated independently by the AI without human intervention and thus dropping such works in the public domain
immediately after their creation. However, in the UK, the Copyright, Patents and the Designs Act, 1988 under Section 9 (3)
attributes copyright to “the person by whom the arrangements necessary for the creation of the work are undertaken” in case
of AI generated works. India has taken a giant leap by considering AI as the joint author along with the human responsible
for the creation of work. However, there is not much comprehensive literature available that focuses on the impact of AI
being considered as a joint author. This paper aims to create a concrete foundation by emphasising such impact under the
Copyright Act, 1957. Furthermore, the paper considers the stance of the US, UK and Australia in protecting AI generated
works to suggest measures to the current copyright regime in India.
