ChatGPT maker OpenAI to Delhi HC: No legal obligation in India, as no office or permanent establishment here; servers too located outside India

ChatGPT-maker OpenAI has challenged Delhi High Court’s (HC) jurisdiction in a copyright lawsuit filed against the tech giant in November brought by news agency ANI. The Microsoft-backed company has argued that the court lacks jurisdiction as OpenAI had no presence in the country.

In its filing, OpenAI stated that complying with ANI’s request to remove its data from ChatGPT’s training would violate its legal obligations in the United States, news agency Reuters said in a report.
