One of India’s biggest news outlets, Asian News International, has sued OpenAI. This case could set a standard for how AI companies use protected news material in India, which has the most people in the world.
Asian News International sued the AI company in 287 pages in the Delhi High Court on Monday, saying that the company illegally used its content to train its AI models and made up false information that it said came from the news agency. It’s the first time that an Indian news group has gone to court against OpenAI over copyright claims.
At the meeting on Tuesday, Justice Amit Bansal summoned OpenAI after the company said it had already checked to make sure ChatGPT wasn’t going to ANI’s website. The bench said on Tuesday that it was not likely to give an injunction because the case was “complex” and needed a full hearing.
The Following Hearing Is Planned For January
“We make sure that our products and design process help news organizations,” a spokesperson for OpenAI told Parhlo World in a statement. “We are actively forming positive partnerships and having positive conversations with many news organizations around the world, including those in India, to look for opportunities, get feedback, and work together.”
More and more people around the world are putting pressure on AI companies to stop using protected material. According to what was said in court, OpenAI is currently facing more than a dozen similar cases in the US, two in Canada, and one in Germany.
Lawyer for OpenAI Amit Sibal supported the company’s actions by saying that copyright laws don’t protect facts and that ChatGPT lets websites choose not to collect data. He also said that the Microsoft-backed company doesn’t have any computers in India and says the suit doesn’t have any grounds in India.
On the other hand, ANI’s lawyer, Sidhant Kumar of the law firm UNUM Law, said that making information public doesn’t give anyone the right to use it. The agency was especially worried about ChatGPT linking fake interviews to ANI, such as a talk that never happened with Rahul Gandhi, who leads the party that is against the current government.
Such “hallucinations” are a real threat to ANI’s image, the news agency said in its lawsuit, and the spread of fake news can cause chaos in the public.

The court is going to hire a third-party expert to give them advice on the copyright issues that come up when AI models use content that is open to the public. In later hearings, the judge will look at more technical aspects of how news content spreads across various platforms.
