THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY: NAVIGATING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS THROUGH THE LENS OF COPYRIGHT LAW

THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY: NAVIGATING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS THROUGH THE LENS OF COPYRIGHT LAW Trupti Agarkar, BA LLB (Symbiosis Law School), LLM in IPTL (Jindal Global Law School) (India) Download Manuscript doi.org/10.70183/lijdlr.2025.v03.192 Every sector breathes and expands with technology every day, including fashion. The fashion industry is constantly evolving and adopting new technologies, one of the most striking technologies is the Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI has multiple applications in fashion including assist in creating designs and patterns, predicting future trends, computing consumer data and improving service delivery. Nonetheless, the application of AI in fashion has dire consequences in law, specifically concerning Intellectual Property Rights (IP). As AI poses threats to the fundamental principles of IP law, exploring its implication on IP rights is of utmost significance. This research focuses on whether IP rights, specifically the Copyright and design rights, are applicable to the outputs of AI. It seeks to determine how much protection Indian IP laws, specifically the Copyright Act, 1957 provide for works created by AI. Problems such as authorship, ownership disputes, and originality in relation to the Indian legal system are discussed. Moreover, the research analyzes the scope of protections available under Indian law for outputs created by AI. In addition, a comparison with other jurisdictions sheds light on how these AI-related laws of other countries deal with similar problems. The study elaborates on the notion that while AI presents vast opportunities for advancement in fashion, it also illuminates extreme concerns of integrating AI technologies into fashion business. Hence, for the ever-evolving IP laws, it is vital to balance technological advancements with protection for designers, creators and businesses.

THE IP PROTECTION IN AI SYSTEMS: LEGAL ANALYSIS OF COPYRIGHT, TRADEMARK AND PATENT LAW

THE IP PROTECTION IN AI SYSTEMS: LEGAL ANALYSIS OF COPYRIGHT, TRADEMARK AND PATENT LAW Purti Sharma, Amity Law School, Amity University Noida, Uttar Pradesh (India) Download Manuscript doi.org/10.70183/lijdlr.2025.v03.122 Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly disrupted the conventional Intellectual Property (IP) laws and is presently considered as a novel source of creative and inventive contributions. The core problem originates from the fact that AI operates autonomously, thus, human authorship and creation are questioned along with issues of originality, ownership, and legal recognition. Both Indian and international statutory frameworks comprehend these issues through copyright, trademark, and patent law perspectives concerning AI, generated works and ideas. The foremost question in copyright law revolves around whether works created by AI can be considered as “original” and have an “author.” In order to determine the level of legal protection for works generated by machines, different legislations such as the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976, the Indian Copyright Act of 1957, and respective International Agreements are referred to. Artificial Intelligence, in effect, is a vital factor in branding strategies, in the generation of trade names, and in the evaluation of distinctiveness and the risk of confusion in trademark law. The change in technological viewpoint is noticeable in the provisions of the EU Trademark Regulations, the Lanham Act of 1946 (U.S.), and the Indian Trademarks Act of 1999 which deal with the issues of goodwill, consumer protection, and enforcement. Patent law is at a crossroad where questions of inventorship and novelty arise as a result of inventions created by or with the substantial involvement of AI. The Patents Act, 1970 (India), the U.S. Patent Act (35 U.S.C.), and The European Patent Convention (EPC) are the legislative instruments through which the discussions on whether AI can be recognized as an inventor are happening. The TRIPS Agreement (1995) serves as a basis for these talks at the international level. The primary goal is to determine whether the AI, IP law intersection is so complicated that it cannot be regulated by the existing legal frameworks alone and thus requires a reformed, specialized legal approach.

FROM TRADITIONAL COLONIALISM TO DIGITAL CAPTURE – CHANGING DIMENSIONS OF ‘SOVEREIGNTY’ IN THE ERA OF AI AND GLOBALISATION

FROM TRADITIONAL COLONIALISM TO DIGITAL CAPTURE – CHANGING DIMENSIONS OF ‘SOVEREIGNTY’ IN THE ERA OF AI AND GLOBALISATION Jaskamal Kaur, LL.M. Student, School of Law, Lovely Professional University, Punjab (India) Download Manuscript doi.org/10.70183/lijdlr.2025.v03.108 The increasing use of artificial intelligence and digital technologies has fundamentally altered global power dynamics, thereby introducing a new era of “Digital Colonialism.” It is different from traditional colonialism, which was based on territorial conquest and political domination. However, digital colonialism is exercised through control of data, digital infrastructure, algorithms and platform governance. This paper discusses the shift from historical colonial structures and processes to new forms of digital dependencies where, frequently, multinational technology corporations and platforms powered by artificial intelligence set themselves up as quasi-sovereign actors. It is diluting the regulatory capacity of nation-states. This study examines the competing nations of the United States, China, the European Union, and India. It is a new way of expanding their presence beyond national physical borders. Furthermore, the paper highlights the multidimensional risks that digital dependencies carry, ranging from economic vulnerability to political manipulation and cybersecurity issues. The research shows how dependency on foreign-owned digital platforms can undermine national autonomy and the inequalities of power between the world’s rich and poor. It concludes by providing recommendations which include strengthening domestic digital infrastructure, adoption of robust data governance, as well as promotion of digital public goods. This will contribute to a deeper understanding of the role of digital technologies in redefining sovereignty, power, and governance in the contemporary global order.

PREDICTIVE POLICING AND CONSTITUTIONAL MORALITY: AN EVALUATION OF AI-BASED CRIME FORECASTING TECHNOLOGIES IN INDIA

PREDICTIVE POLICING AND CONSTITUTIONAL MORALITY: AN EVALUATION OF AI-BASED CRIME FORECASTING TECHNOLOGIES IN INDIA KAVIDHARANI R, Presidency University, Bangalore Download Manuscript doi.org/10.70183/lijdlr.2025.v03.75 The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in law enforcement has led to the rise of predictive policing, an emerging technique that uses data analytics and machine learning to forecast potential criminal activity. While such innovations promise to enhance efficiency and prevent crime, they raise critical concerns in a constitutional democracy like India, where the values of liberty, equality, due process, and human dignity form the bedrock of governance. This paper critically evaluates the deployment of AI-driven predictive policing technologies in India through the lens of constitutional morality; a normative framework rooted in the transformative vision of the Indian Constitution. Focusing on initiatives such as CMAPS (Crime Mapping, Analytics and Predictive System), facial recognition, and algorithmic surveillance, the paper explores the socio-legal implications of data-powered policing. It examines how algorithmic bias, lack of transparency, and mass surveillance mechanisms pose risks to privacy, reinforce structural inequalities, and challenge the principles affirmed in landmark judgments such as Justice K.S. Putt swamy v. Union of India. Through doctrinal analysis and comparative insights from global practices, the study highlights the tension between technological advancement and constitutional safeguards. The paper argues that in its current unregulated form, predictive policing risks deepening systemic discrimination and undermining democratic freedoms. It underscores the urgent need for a rights-based AI policy framework, judicial oversight, and algorithmic accountability. By contextualizing predictive policing within the constitutional morality framework, this study seeks to initiate a discourse that prioritizes human dignity and constitutional values over mere technological expediency.

CRIMINAL ACCOUNTABILITY FOR AI: MENS REA, ACTUS REUS, AND THE CHALLENGES OF AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS

CRIMINAL ACCOUNTABILITY FOR AI: MENS REA, ACTUS REUS, AND THE CHALLENGES OF AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS Akanksha Priya,Pursuing LLM in Criminal Law from Amity University, Batch 2024-2025 Download Manuscript doi.org/10.70183/lijdlr.2024.v03.13 Criminal accountability for harms caused by artificial intelligence systems presents profound challenges for traditional legal frameworks. The mens rea and actus reus pillars of Indian criminal jurisprudence face conceptual strains when applied to algorithmic decision-making. AI systems lack human-like mental states and discrete physical acts that form the foundation of criminal culpability. The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and other Indian laws inadequately address these accountability gaps. This article examines the conceptual and practical obstacles to AI criminal liability under current Indian legal frameworks. It analyzes relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and identifies their limitations in AI contexts. The article explores comparative regulatory approaches from the European Union, United States, United Kingdom, Singapore, and other jurisdictions. The article concludes by proposing legal and policy recommendations for India to address AI criminal accountability challenges. These include establishing AI-specific legislation, incorporating risk-based obligations, mandating human oversight for high-risk applications, and developing specialized enforcement capacities. The article emphasizes the urgent need for Indian legal frameworks to evolve beyond anthropocentric paradigms and accommodate the distinctive characteristics of artificial intelligence. Only through such evolution can India establish effective and legitimate mechanisms for attributing criminal responsibility when AI systems cause harm.
