The Delhi High Court is hearing ANI Media’s suit against OpenAI, alleging ChatGPT used its news content without permission. Senior Advocate Akhil Sibal argued that “commercial use isn’t automatically infringement under Indian law,” citing fair dealing exceptions.
OpenAI has claimed immunity from copyright infringement in India regarding allegations from ANI, asserting that its LLM training and data storage occur outside the country, thus falling outside Indian copyright law. OpenAI’s attorney argued there’s no direct use of ANI’s content and that no evidence of copyright violation has been presented.
