India's copyright ruling clarifies AI-generated artwork can't have sole authorship
- India’s Copyright Office has ruled that an AI system cannot be recognised as the author of a creative work under current law.
- The decision came after US researcher Stephen Thaler sought copyright for A Recent Entrance to Paradise, an artwork generated by his AI system DABUS.
- The Office said AI-generated work can still receive copyright protection, but authorship must be attributed to a human rather than the AI system itself.
- Thaler has pursued similar DABUS copyright claims in 16 jurisdictions, making the Indian ruling part of a wider debate over AI and creative ownership.
