NEW DELHI – The Delhi High Court on Monday issued notices to artificial intelligence research organisation OpenAI, Inc. and others on an application filed by Indian Music Industry group, which includes Saregama India Ltd. and T-Series, seeking to intervene in a copyright infringement suit filed against the California-based company. The high court was hearing a suit filed by ANI Media Pvt. Ltd., alleging that OpenAI was training its generative AI chatbot ChatGPT with material that had the news agency's copyright.
The music group and companies have moved the high court to hear its concerns about unauthorised use of sound recordings in training AI models that breaches their copyright. The court is set to hear the case on Feb. 21, Mar. 11, and Mar. 18. This is the first copyright infringement suit in India against ChatGPT.
Even the Federation of Indian Publishers and the Digital News Publishers Association are intervenors in the copyright suit against OpenAI. The Federation of Indian Publishers said ChatGPT produces book summaries and extracts from unlicensed online copies, which hurts the business of its members. OpenAI has used its members' literary works without authorisation to train ChatGPT, the federation said.
The Digital News Publishers Association, which represents the digital arms of several mainstream television and print organisations in India, has highlighted concerns about the unauthorised mass copying and use of copyrighted works to train AI models, including OpenAI's Generative Pre-trained Transformer model.
At 1306 IST, shares of Saregama India were down 2.3% at INR 475.60 on the National Stock Exchange. End
