ANI Sues OpenAI in Delhi High Court Over Alleged Unauthorized Use of Published Content

By M&E Outlook Team | Wednesday, 20 November 2024

The Indian news agency Asian News International (ANI) has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI in a New Delhi court, alleging unauthorized use of its published content to train the AI chatbot, ChatGPT. ANI accuses OpenAI of using its copyrighted material without obtaining permission, a claim that highlights the growing global concerns over AI companies’ use of proprietary data in model training.

This case follows a pattern of legal action by major news organizations against OpenAI, including lawsuits in the United States filed by prominent publications like the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune.

These lawsuits underline the increasing friction between AI developers and content creators over intellectual property rights and the ethical boundaries of AI training methods.

The first hearing in the New Delhi High Court was held on Tuesday. During the session, the court issued a notice to OpenAI, instructing the company to provide a detailed response to ANI's allegations.

The outcome of this case could have significant implications for the AI industry in India and beyond, particularly concerning how generative AI models access and utilize copyrighted content during their development.

ANI, a leading news agency in India, did not immediately provide a comment on the matter. OpenAI, on the other hand, has previously stated that it has ceased using such third-party content to train its models, indicating a shift in its data acquisition policies amidst mounting legal challenges.
