Delhi High Court hears ANI’s copyright suit against OpenAI over ChatGPT training
See how this story connectsThe Delhi High Court issued summons on 19 November 2024 in a suit by news agency ANI alleging that OpenAI copied its news content to train ChatGPT, reproduced it in answers and attributed invented statements to ANI. Justice Amit Bansal declined an immediate injunction, appointed an amicus curiae and listed the case for January 2025. OpenAI argued Indian courts lacked jurisdiction because it has no servers in India and said it had blocked ANI’s domain from its crawler in October 2024.
Why it matters
OpenAI faced a copyright suit in India over its training data and answers, testing whether Indian courts can hear such claims against a foreign model provider.
