Indian news agency sues OpenAI over AI copyright issue

Asian News International (ANI) has initiated legal action against OpenAI, marking a notable copyright claim from an Indian media outlet.

Filed in the Delhi High Court, this lawsuit accuses OpenAI of using ANI’s content without permission to train its AI models and generating incorrect attributions.

Justice Amit Bansal has summoned OpenAI, following the company’s confirmation that its AI models do not access ANI’s website.

However, no injunction was provided, as a detailed examination is necessary. The next hearing is scheduled for January.
