Global Publishers In India Sue Openai Over Copyright Infringement

NEW DELHI: OpenAI is now facing copyright claims from Indian book publishers and their global counterparts in what appears to be the latest in a series of lawsuits seeking to stop the ChatGPT chatbot accessing proprietary content.

Courts across the world are hearing claims by authors, news outlets and musicians who accuse technology firms of using their copyright work to train AI services and who are seeking to have content used to train the chatbot deleted, Reuters reported.

“Our ask from the court is that they should stop (OpenAI from) accessing our copyright content,” Pranav Gupta, the federation’s general secretary said in an interview about the lawsuit, which concerns the ChatGPT tool’s book summaries.

“In case they don’t want to do licensing with us, they should delete datasets used in AI training and explain how we will be compensated. This impacts creativity,” he added.

OpenAI did not respond to Reuters’ request for comment on the allegations and the lawsuit, which was filed in December but is being reported here for the first time. It has repeatedly denied such allegations, saying its AI systems make fair use of publicly available data.
