MeitY backs DPIIT's AI copyright plan: Revenue sharing, minimum threshold

• MeitY backs DPIIT's proposed AI copyright licensing model for training AI systems.
• The model combines mandatory blanket licensing for AI training with statutory remuneration for copyright holders.
• MeitY believes this framework balances AI development and creative labor, ensuring wide data access with compensation.
• It recommends a minimum revenue threshold for AI developers to share royalties with copyright holders via CRCAT.
• Nasscom dissents, suggesting a text and data mining exception with opt-out rights for copyright holders.

Why It Matters: India's AI copyright plan ensures creators are paid for content used in AI training.
