Delhi High Court to Hear ANI’s Copyright Suit Against OpenAI on March 28

ANI has accused OpenAI of copyright infringement, claiming ChatGPT scrapes content from ANI’s website and its subscribers, such as the Economic Times. 

ANI argues that while facts can't be copyrighted, their narration and translations can. OpenAI contends that similar reporting is inevitable and that it holds licenses with newspapers like the Financial Times. 

The Delhi High Court is examining four key issues - OpenAI’s storage and use of ANI’s data for AI training, whether this constitutes infringement, whether it qualifies as ‘fair use’ under Section 52 of the Copyright Act, and jurisdiction concerns, as OpenAI’s servers are in the U.S.

The matter will be heard next on March 28.
