India seeks global consensus on AI, IP & copyright protection: Ashwini Vaishnaw

NEW DELHI: India is seeking to achieve a global consensus on ensuring that artificial intelligence (AI) does not infringe upon the copyrights of content creators, a top official of the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) said on Monday.

“Given that the challenges between AI and copyright are very complex, we are, during the India AI Impact Summit, looking at some sort of consensus on this. If the creators get a chance to deploy their skills, protect their copyrights, and the fruits of their creative energy, then the growth (of the creative industry) between today and tomorrow will be very high,” Ashwini Vaishnaw, union minister of electronics & IT, said.
