News agency ANI has filed a lawsuit against Sam Altman-owned OpenAI, accusing it of unauthorized use of its copyright content, according to a report by CNBC TV18.

The Delhi High Court has agreed to hear the matter and has refused to pass any interim order against the parent firm of ChatGPT.

According to CNBC TV18, ANI has argued that OpenAI is using the website's publicly available data to train ChatGPT, including ANI’s news stories.

It said the news stories published by the platform are protected under copyright laws and OpenAI was using it illegally.

The news agency has cited instances in which ChatGPT generated responses that are copied, verbatim from news stories published by ANI.

Besides, ANI argued that ChatGPT has also falsely attributed the material to it. According to ANI, ChatGPT mentioned an interview with Rahul Gandhi, citing the news agency. ANI said that it never took any such interview.

On the other hand, OpenAI said it is facing similar suits in other parts of the world, such as the US, Canada, and Germany. And, it said that no court has ruled against them on grounds of copyright infringement.

OpenAI said copyright laws do not protect ideas or facts. The lawyers team of OpenAI argued that news is a smaller portion of data, and ANI is an even smaller source of data.

On ANI's 'misstribution' charges, OpenAI said all the flagged instances have been removed.

According to CNBC TV18, the court has directed Open AI to file a detailed response. The next hearing is likely on January 28.
