ANI vs OpenAI: Delhi HC orders OpenAI to respond to plea by Indian music industry in copyright case

The Delhi high court on Monday directed Microsoft-backed OpenAI, a San Francisco-based artificial intelligence (AI) research organization, to respond to a petition from the Indian Music Industry (IMI), which seeks to join a copyright infringement lawsuit filed by Asian News International (ANI).

The ANI lawsuit accuses OpenAI of using its content without permission to train its ChatGPT model. IMI, representing major Bollywood labels like T-Series, Saregama, and Sony Music, is concerned about the unauthorized use of their sound recordings in AI training, arguing it constitutes copyright infringement.
