The Intersection of AI Creativity and Copyright Law: Evaluating Protections for Performers on Video Sharing Platform

A performer is a person who creates something by his own hard work and performs it for an audience. Therefore, it's critical to preserve their creations. Artists and performances are protected by the copyright statute. Numerous artists have been embraced by AI's creative potential, which has also given them the means to produce cultural works. Additionally, AI technology opens up new avenues for improving human performance. The swift development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology poses important queries about who is responsible for copying artist performances on video-sharing websites. Even while the Copyright Act in India offers performers a high level of protection, the current legal system still has flaws when it comes to large AI imitations on YouTube and other video-sharing websites. In order to determine whether current legal frameworks sufficiently handle the complexity of AI-based performance imitations, this study explores the concepts of culpability of AI and vicarious liability as they relate to AI developers and operators .
