The Indian government panel has proposed that AI companies, including OpenAI and Google, pay royalties to content creators for utilizing their works in model training. This initiative reflects a global push for clearer AI-related copyright regulations. Unlike the U.S., where "fair use" is often claimed, India advocates for a centralized royalty system. Major industry players, like Nasscom, criticize the plan as a "tax" on innovation, emphasizing the need for licensing rather than radical changes in copyright law.
