Intellectual Property in the Age of AI: Who Owns AI-Generated Content?

AI-generated content, which ranges from music and art to software code and literature, raises critical questions about intellectual property (IP) rights.

In India, the legal framework surrounding this issue is still evolving, leading to debates and uncertainties.
