Sam Altman-led OpenAI is facing a new copyright lawsuit in India. According to court documents, Adani’s NDTV and Ambani’s Network18 have filed a lawsuit against OpenAI for its unauthorized use of copyrighted information.
Concerned that their news websites are being scraped to save and replicate their content for users of the potent AI tool, media outlets have informed a New Delhi court that they wish to join an ongoing action against the author of ChatGPT.
According to the 135-page lawsuit file in the New Delhi court, which is not publicly available but was examined by Reuters, OpenAI’s actions pose “a clear and present danger to the valuable copyrights” of other sites and members of the Digital News Publishers Association (DNPA).
It refers to OpenAI’s “wilful scraping … and adaptation of content”.
Authors, media organizations, and artists are suing tech companies worldwide for allegedly exploiting their copyrighted works to train AI systems. They want the information used to train the chatbot removed.
Reuters originally reported on the digital news publishers’ complaint filing, which intensifies an existing legal struggle against ChatGPT in India. Last year, ANI was the first to file a lawsuit against OpenAI.
On new allegations, OpenAI did not reply to a request for comment. It has consistently refuted these claims, claiming that its AI algorithms use openly accessible data fairly.
