OpenAI is embroiled in a significant legal battle in India as Asian News International (ANI), one of the country’s largest news agencies, has filed a lawsuit against the AI company. The 287-page suit, lodged in the Delhi High Court, accuses OpenAI of using ANI’s copyrighted content without permission to train its AI models and producing false information attributed to the agency. This case marks the first instance of an Indian media organization taking legal action against OpenAI over copyright issues, potentially setting a precedent for AI companies operating in the region.
During a recent court hearing, OpenAI confirmed that it had already restricted ChatGPT from accessing ANI’s website, yet the court refrained from issuing an injunction, citing the complexity of the case. The next hearing is slated for January, where further technical and legal aspects will be examined. OpenAI’s legal team argues that copyright laws do not cover factual data and emphasizes that websites can opt out of data collection. However, ANI’s legal representatives contend that public availability does not equate to the right to exploit content, especially when it leads to fabricated information being attributed to the agency. This lawsuit adds to the growing global scrutiny OpenAI faces regarding its use of copyrighted material, with similar legal challenges in the U.S., Canada, and Germany. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for OpenAI’s operations and its engagement with news organizations worldwide.
