OpenAI said - We do not use content from Indian media to trend AI tool ChatGPT

According to OpenAI, it does not use content from Indian media groups to trend its AI tool ChatGPT or other models. Microsoft-backed OpenAI has said in its 31-page document filed in the court that it is not obliged to partner with these media groups to use their publicly available content. This document is first reported by Reuters.

The case is linked to a lawsuit that was filed last year by Indian news agency ANI, alleging that ChatGPT used its published content without permission to train its AI chatbot. Following this, several book publishers and media groups in India decided to join this legal battle.

The document filed by OpenAI on February 11 clearly states that it has not used "content from any applicant or members of the DNPA" to train its AI model. OpenAI and its lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment made by Reuters on the matter. The DNPA and other news organizations also did not respond to it.

OpenAI clarified that OpenAI had earlier said in a statement, "We develop our AI models using publicly available data, which is protected by fair use and related principles and which has long been legally accepted." Authors, news organizations, and musicians are filing lawsuits in courts around the world alleging that tech companies are using their copyrighted material to train AI services without permission or payment.
