ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND COPYRIGHT LAW: NAVIGATING THE INTERSECTION OF INNOVATION AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS IN THE DIGITAL AGE Suryansh Mishra, Symbiosis Law School, Nagpur Download Manuscript doi.org/10.70183/lijdlr.2025.v03.56 Issues protecting intellectual property have not been more challenging than when it comes to copyright law and artificial intelligence. The current trend in the use of artificial intelligence has caused unprecedented concerns in the copyright legislative sector. The mixed-method research approach applied in this paper implies the combination of doctrinal legal analysis and empirical investigation of the recent trends in litigation and regulating changes. This paper seeks to discover the current legal context surrounding the creation of AI-generated work through systemic examination of court submissions, regulatory papers, and industry briefings and provides a framework to which the fundamental questions of copyrightability, fair use and infringement of machine learning training data revolve around. Based on an examination of current legal proceedings, regulatory trends, and new jurisprudential components, the author discusses the ways in which old paradigms of copyright are changing to meet the unprecedented challenges that AI systems potentially offer in terms of creation, editing, and dissemination of content in massive quantities. Such a complex legal environment is identified to exist, as revealed in the research, where courts are taking a swing at core issues surrounding authorship, originality, among other outstanding issues touching on the free use of AI training. The category of research methodologies to be undertaken involves the analysis of more than 150 cases currently in litigation in a variety of jurisdictions and examination of regulatory frameworks in the United States, European Union, and other key jurisdictions, as well as the assessment of industry practices and technological solutions to the problem. The analysis will give an idea about the emerging trends in legal standards, possible ways of solving the issue, and the consequences of creators, technology companies, and people working in the law profession who operate in this changing environment.
