Digital news units of Indian billionaires Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani, along with other outlets including the Indian Express and the Hindustan Times, are joining a lawsuit against OpenAI for allegedly improperly using copyrighted content to train its AI models. They argue that OpenAI's scraping and adaptation of news content poses a threat to their valuable copyrights and unfairly benefits the tech giant.

Courts globally are hearing claims by authors, news organizations, and musicians who accuse technology firms of using their copyrighted work to train AI services without permission or payment. The 135-page case filing, which is not public but was reviewed by Reuters, argues OpenAI’s conduct constitutes “a clear and present danger to the valuable copyrights” of Digital News Publishers Association members and other outlets.

The Times of India is not part of the legal challenge despite being member of the DNPA, the filing said, without elaborating on the reasons. The new Indian intervention will add firepower to ANI’s lawsuit against OpenAI in India’s most high-profile legal proceedings on the issue.Responding to the ANI case, OpenAI said in comments reported by Reuters last week that any order to delete training data would result in a violation of its US legal obligations, and Indian judges have no jurisdiction to hear a copyright case against the company as its servers are located abroad.

The Indian publishers in their new filing argue OpenAI has entered into partnership agreements with media outlets abroad, but has not entered into similar deals in India, hurting the media companies.
