Delhi High Court to Examine Copyright Protection for AI-Generated Songs

The Delhi High Court is examining whether a song generated using artificial intelligence can be protected under copyright law.

The issue arose in an infringement suit where a party claimed rights over a song allegedly created using AI tools. The Court noted that copyright law requires originality and authorship, and questioned how these apply to AI-generated works.

It also considered whether human involvement in creating or modifying such content affects copyright protection.

The court has directed defendants to file their replies & further petitioners to file a rejoinder.
