OpenAI Did Not Violate Copyright, Says Delhi Court To ANI

Declining ANI’s request for an interim injunction, the court ruled that the news agency had not established a prima facie case. The court also rejected ANI’s contention that ChatGPT reproduces its copyrighted material. Justice Bansal observed that the data collected to train large language models is used internally and is not made available to the public. The order further noted that ChatGPT transforms information rather than simply reproducing news articles. The case has since attracted wide attention from India’s media and technology sectors. The Digital News Publishers Association (DNPA), whose members include The Times Group, Hindustan Times, India Today Group and The Hindu, later joined the proceedings.
