NEW DELHI (REUTERS) – Indian book publishers and their international counterparts have filed a copyright case against OpenAI in New Delhi, a representative said Friday, the last in a series of global issues trying to prevent the chatgpt -chatbot gaining access to proprial content.
Courts all over the world treat claims of authors, news media and musicians who accuse technology companies to use their copyrighted work to train AI services and who want the content used to train the chatbot is removed.
The Federation of Indian Publishers, based in New Delhi, told Reuters that they had filed a case at the High Department of Delhi, which is already dealing with a similar lawsuit against OpenAI.
The case was submitted on behalf of all members of the Federation, including publishers such as Bloomsbury, Penguin Random House, Cambridge University Press and Pan Macmillan, as well as Indian Rupa Publications and S.Chand and Co.
“Our question from the court is that they have to stop access to our copyrighted content,” said Pranav Gupta, the general secretary of the Federation in an interview about the lawsuit, which relates to the book of the Chatgpt tool.
“In the event that they do not want to do licenses with us, they must remove data sets that are used in AI training and explain how we will be compensated. This influences creativity,” he added.
OpenAi did not respond to a request for commentary on the accusations and the court case, which was filed in December but is reported here for the first time. The country has repeatedly denied such accusations and said that his AI systems make fair use of publicly available data.
OpenAi provided an investment, consumer and commercial madness in generative AI after the launch of Chatgpt in November 2022. It wants to be paramount in the AI race after it had collected $ 6.6 billion last year.
The Indian Book publishers group wants to join the lawsuit of the Indian news agency Ani against the Microsoft -supported OpenAI, the most high -profile legal proceedings in the country on this subject.
“These matters represent a crucial moment and may be able to shape the future legal framework for AI in India. The judgment pronounced here will test the balance between the protection of intellectual property and promoting technological progress, “says Siddharth Chandrashekhar, a lawyer from Mumbai.
In response to the Ani case, OpenAi said in comments that were reported by Reuters this week that any order to remove training data would result in a violation of the American legal obligations, and that Indian judges are not entitled to deal with a copyright case Against the company like its servers. are located abroad.
