NEW DELHI (Reuters) – Indian book publishers and their international counterparts have filed a copyright lawsuit against Operai in New Delhi, a representative said on Friday, the latest in a series of global cases seeking to stop chatgpt Chatbot accessing proprietary content.
Courts around the world are hearing claims from authors, media outlets and musicians accusing tech companies of using their copyrighted work to train AI services and seeking content used to train the deleted chatbot.
The New Delhi-based Federation of Indian Publishers told Reuters it had filed a case in the Delhi High Court, which is already hearing a similar suit against OpenAI.
The case was brought on behalf of all members of the Federation, which include publishers such as Bloomsbury, Penguin Random House, Cambridge University Press and Pan Macmillan, as well as Rupa Publications of India and S.Chand and Co, it said.
“Our request from the court is that they should stop (OpenAi) from accessing our copyright content,” Pranav Gupta, the federation’s general secretary, said in an interview about the lawsuit, which concerns the company’s book summaries. ChatGPT tool.
“In case they do not want to license with us, they must delete data sets used in AI training and explain how we will be compensated. This affects creativity,” he added.
Operai did not respond to a request for comment on the allegations and lawsuit, which was filed in December but is reported here for the first time. It has repeatedly denied such allegations, saying its AI systems make fair use of publicly available data.
Operai started an investment, corporate and investment frenzy in generative AI after the November 2022 launch of ChatGPT. It wants to be ahead in the AI race after raising $6.6 billion last year.
The Indian Book Publishers Group is seeking to join Indian News Agency ANI’s lawsuit against Microsoft-backed OpenAI, which is the highest-profile legal proceeding in the nation on this issue.
“These cases represent a pivotal moment and can shape the future legal framework on AI in India. The judgment passed here will test the balance between protecting IP and promoting technological advancement,” said Siddharth Chandrashekhar, a Mumbai-based lawyer. .
In response to the ANI case, Openai said in comments reported by Reuters this week that any order to delete training data would result in a violation of its US legal obligations, and Indian judges do not have the right to hear a case of copyright against the company as its servers are located abroad.
