This essay examines how AI andcopyright law are developing in India, with a particular topics like ownership and authorship of works produced by AI, liability for infringement involving AI systems , and the suitability of the Copyright Act, 1957, current statutory provisions. It compares Indian legal standards to those of other countries, emphasizing the increasing need for legislative changes that deal with the legal standing of non-human authors and the extent of protection afforded to machine-generated content. In order to offer a fair strategy that promotes innovation without compromising the rights of human writers, the article also takes into account stakeholder viewpoints, policy recommendations, and court interpretations. In the end, it seeks to offer a thorough grasp of how Indian Copyright law has to change in order to continue to be useful in the AI era.
