The media outlets have moved against ChatGPT creator as they are concerned that their news portals are being scraped to store and reproduce their work to users of the powerful AI tool, as per Reuters report
The lawsuit against OpenAI was first filed by the news agency ANI last year
A group of global and Indian book publishers also joined the lawsuit later
Media outlets such as NDTV, Network18, the Indian Express and the Hindustan Times have reportedly told a New Delhi court that they wanted to join an ongoing lawsuit against OpenAI associated with alleged improper use of copyright content.
As per a Reuter’s report, the media outlets have moved against ChatGPT creator as they are concerned that their news portals are being scraped to store and reproduce their work to users of the powerful AI tool.
The lawsuit against OpenAI was first filed by the news agency ANI last year and then joined by a group of global and Indian book publishers.
The 135-page case filing in the court, which was reviewed by Reuters, argues that OpenAI’s conduct constitutes “a clear and present danger to the valuable copyrights” of Digital News Publishers Association (DNPA) members and other outlets.
The case filing was made by 20 companies, including the Indian Express, Hindustan Times, NDTV, Network18, Dainik Bhaskar and the DNPA, as per the report.
This comes after multiple domestic and global book publishers have banded together and sued OpenAI for alleged copyright infringement.
The Federation of Indian Publishers (FIP) too has moved the Delhi High Court against OpenAI on behalf of all its members, including homegrown players like Rupa Publications and S Chand and Co as well as global giants such as Bloomsbury, Penguin Random House, Cambridge University Press and Pan Macmillan.
Last week, OpenAI told the court that Indian courts do not have the jurisdiction to hear ANI’s copyright infringement case as the company does not have a presence in the country.
The AI giant said that any order to remove training data powering its chatbot ChatGPT would be inconsistent with its legal obligations in the US.
The Sam Altman-led company reportedly told the Delhi High Court that it was defending a litigation in the US pertaining to the data on which its models have been trained. It added that the American laws required companies to preserve the data while hearings were on.
