Exploring Copyright Infringement Risks in the Age of AI: What Content Creators and Developers Need to Know About Protecting Intellectual Property

AI technologies are developed in terms of generative models to an extent where such content generated might look similar to the one written by a human. Such generative models operate based on big data sets, many times extracted from the works themselves, allowing new content to be created based on the learned pattern and structure.

The rapid growth of artificial intelligence has revolutionized content creation and raised significant concerns about copyright infringement and intellectual property protection. AI-generated content, often derived from datasets containing copyrighted works, challenges traditional notions of ownership and originality. Legal frameworks worldwide, including India’s Copyright Act, are still evolving to address these complexities. This article explores the risks of copyright infringement in AI, the legal uncertainties, and strategies for protecting intellectual property. By understanding copyright laws and implementing safeguards, content creators and developers can navigate these challenges effectively.
