Ambani, Adani Media Firms Join Copyright Battle Against OpenAI

Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani, along with others like Indian Express and Hindustan Times, have joined a lawsuit against OpenAI, accusing it of improperly using copyrighted content. 

The Indian Media Outlets have told Delhi HC they want to join an ongoing lawsuit as they are worried their news websites are being scraped to store and reproduce their work for users of the powerful AI tool.

This legal battle, initiated by ANI in 2024, argues that OpenAI uses Indian media content without permission for its AI models. OpenAI counters that its use is protected under fair use and asserts that Indian courts lack jurisdiction as its servers are abroad.

OpenAI did not respond to a request for comment on the new allegations.
