India rules AI cannot be an author of creative works

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This decision follows a case where an AI system was sought to be registered as the author of a piece of artwork. AI

IMPACT This ruling clarifies the legal standing of AI-generated content, potentially impacting the commercialization and ownership of creative works produced by AI systems.
