The Delhi high court on Tuesday refused to immediately restrain OpenAI from scraping news agency ANI’s content to train ChatGPT and generate responses, saying the company must first be heard.
ANI Appeals Court Decision on OpenAI’s Use of Content
ANI has filed an appeal against a court ruling from July 24, which dismissed its request to prevent OpenAI from using its content to train ChatGPT. The initial judge ruled that OpenAI’s actions fell under the “fair dealing” exception in Indian copyright law.
During the appeal, ANI’s lawyer, Kumar, informed the court that OpenAI had agreed not to scrape content from ANI’s website between September 2024 and July 24. Kumar urged the court to enforce this arrangement.
ANI contends that the court did not sufficiently consider OpenAI’s alleged admission of scraping, storing, and commercially exploiting ANI’s work in its dismissal of the injunction request.
