Government Committee on AI and Copyright Delays Second Working Paper Amid Inactivity
A government committee formed in April 2025 to examine AI's implications for India's copyright law has not met since June, with members reporting waning official interest. The committee released its first working paper in December 2025 on using copyrighted material to train AI models. A second paper, originally expected by February 2026 to address AI-generated content ownership and copyright issues, remains delayed with no new timeline from the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade.
