OpenAI using news to train ChatGPT violates copyright, DNPA tells Delhi High Court

The Digital News Publishers Association (DNPA) told the Delhi High Court that OpenAI is infringing media rights by using online news reports to train ChatGPT, potentially wiping out digital journalism.

Representing top outlets like The Times Group and The Hindu, DNPA argued that even momentary storage of news for training is a copyright violation. The Court was hearing a related case filed by ANI, which also accused OpenAI of using its content without permission.

DNPA added that just because news is publicly available doesn't mean it's free to use. Even for research, companies must use legal copies. 

The Court will hear the matter again on August 18, September 12, and September 23.
