The Indian news industry has initiated a copyright lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging unauthorized use of their content to train AI models such as ChatGPT. Major media organizations, including those owned by billionaires Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani, are involved in the case, which could shape the legal landscape for artificial intelligence in India. OpenAI has sought to block these organizations from joining the lawsuit, arguing that it cannot be sued for copyright infringement in Indian courts due to its terms of service, which require disputes to be settled in California. The Delhi High Court has requested OpenAI's response to the lawsuit, which is spearheaded by the news agency ANI and the Digital News Publishers Association, representing significant TV and print outlets in India. The court will begin hearing arguments on February 21, 2025, as the case raises critical questions about copyright and AI's impact on the media industry.
