Delhi HC clears OpenAI training on ANI content
The Delhi High Court ruled that OpenAI’s use of ANI content to train ChatGPT does not constitute copyright infringement. The court found that storage and use falls under the fair dealing exemption for research under India’s Copyright Act. It noted that ANI failed to prove that ChatGPT memorized or reproduced its reports in responses. The court also determined that ChatGPT outputs are distinct from ANI’s original works, even with Retrieval-Augmented Generation. In interim orders, the court refused to grant relief, saying an injunction would harm OpenAI and public interest, and the balance of convenience did not favor ANI. The case has attracted attention from media groups and could shape future limits on AI training with copyrighted content in India.
