However, AI experts, including Moonshot AI's Randy Xian, have dismissed these claims as "political" and "reckless," arguing that an AI model's output is not copyrighted.
Indian solar panel makers are cutting or halting production because domestic solar cells are scarce and China has restricted technology exports. The shortages could raise costs, threaten jobs and make India’s 2030 clean-energy targets harder to meet.

A draft bill to amend the 2014 copyright law has been completed by the House of Representatives, proposing that AI-assisted works receive copyright protection only with human involvement.
