"Sometime early in this century the intelligence of
machines will exceed that of humans. Within a quarter of a century,
machines will exhibit the full range of human intellect, emotions
and skills, ranging from musical and other creative aptitudes to
physical movement. They will claim to have feelings and, unlike
today's virtual personalities, will be very convincing when
they tell us so." – Ray Kurzweil (2008).1
Whether it is the Indian Copyright Act, 1957 or the Patents Act
1970, most Indian legislations find their roots in the British

time, technology was not as advanced as it is now. Machines were
simply used to assist humans in their work. However, the reality
has drastically changed now with the increasing use of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) in our daily lives. Whether it's applications
like Prisma and Google Deep Dreams which work on strong neural
networks to produce stunning creations of art or weak AIs
consisting of chat-bots
