Virtual AI Duplicate Creator (VADC) Conundrum
ipr du_llb advanced hypotheticalSuppose a brilliant student creates an AI model that can generate identical digital artworks to those of a renowned artist, without permission or any form of collaboration. The AI model, dubbed 'Rohan,' is capable of producing near-perfect replicas, including the original artist's style and techniques. The question arises: would the creator of Rohan be liable under Indian Intellectual Property law for copyright infringement? Can we apply the principles of originality and intent to virtual creations? Would it matter if the AI model was programmed to generate art in a style that was deemed 'fair use' but still resulted in copies of existing works? The VADC conundrum poses a unique challenge to existing IP laws and our understanding of authorship in the digital age.
