OpenAI, the founder of ChatGPT, has recently taken legal action against several of India’s largest media groups, including those owned by billionaires Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani.
The lawsuit comes after a defamatory statement was made by the media companies accusing OpenAI of using their copyrighted material without permission to train AI systems and ‘snatching’ their content without permission, thereby damaging their business.
However, OpenAI denies the allegations and insists that its company only uses publicly available data, which is protected by the principle of fair use.
The case has garnered global attention with the potential to re-challenge the rules governing data use and AI in India.
The case is scheduled to go to trial again in February, with the legal battle expected to determine the future of AI in the country, drawing global attention.
