The lawsuit, initiated by Indian news agency ANI, alleges that OpenAI scrapes published content from news websites without permission to train its AI. The ChatGPT-maker OpenAI's filing, dated February 11, asserts that the company only uses publicly available data, in line with fair use principles.
OpenAI, backed by Microsoft, maintains that it is not obligated to strike licensing agreements with media outlets and has defended its practices in court cases worldwide involving copyright claims from authors, musicians, and news organizations. While the company has signed agreements with global publishers to display content, it has not entered similar deals with Indian media groups. OpenAI contends that its use of publicly available data aligns with Indian copyright law.
