OpenAI is seeking to dismiss a legal plea in India accusing its ChatGPT service of copyright violations, arguing it only uses publicly available information. The case, initiated last year by Indian news agency ANI, will be heard in New Delhi and could set AI-related legal precedents in OpenAI’s second-largest user market.
The Federation of Indian Publishers, which includes global players like Penguin Random House and Bloomsbury, claims ChatGPT generates book summaries and extracts from unlicensed online copies, impacting their business. OpenAI counters that its web crawlers access publicly available data, such as content on Wikipedia or abstracts, and denies training on original copyrighted works.
In a January 26 court filing, OpenAI stated the publishers have not shown any evidence of its services using original literary works. The Federation’s Secretary, Pranav Gupta, claims much of ChatGPT’s content comes from licensed websites.
OpenAI maintains that its data use falls under fair use principles. It also argues that Indian courts lack jurisdiction over the case since its servers are located abroad.
The dispute reflects global tensions, with authors, media outlets, and musicians accusing AI firms of using their work without proper permissions. Major Indian publishers, including outlets owned by Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani, have also joined the case.
This legal battle could influence AI policy in India and shape how copyright laws apply to AI-generated content. OpenAI has yet to comment further, referring to its previous statements and filings.
The outcome of this case could have wide-reaching implications for AI development and the protection of intellectual property in India and beyond.
