AI challenges traditional IP rules: most countries require human authorship for copyright, while patents allow AI-assisted inventions if a person makes a real inventive contribution. Training AI on copyrighted works remains legally unclear. India’s Revised CRI Guidelines (2025) clarify AI patent eligibility, but copyright treatment of fully AI-generated content is unsettled. Experts call for clear authorship and inventorship rules, text-and-data-mining exceptions, transparency about AI contributions, regulatory sandboxes, and international cooperation to balance innovation with public access.
