What Happened

India has given OpenAI, Google, and other AI firms 30 days to respond to its proposed royalty system for training on copyrighted content.

Our Take

India's proposing a royalty system for AI training on copyrighted content—bold move if they enforce it. The 30-day ultimatum to OpenAI and Google is pure theater; nobody's ripping out training data in a month. But it sets precedent.

Real problem: proving what's actually in training sets. That's the enforceability graveyard. Still, if this gains traction, every country becomes a tax jurisdiction for AI training. That's going to cost.

What To Do

Companies should be modeling "copyrighted content licensing" as a production cost line item within 24 months.
