OpenAI vs ANI: Delhi HC refuses any ex-parte order
The Delhi high court on Tuesday refused to immediately restrain OpenAI from scraping news agency ANI’s content to train ChatGPT and generate responses, saying the company must first be heard
“We will not like to pass any order ex parte without hearing the other side,” a division bench of justices Avneesh Jhingan and Manmeet PS Arora told ANI’s lawyer, Siddhant Kumar.
The court was hearing ANI’s appeal against a July 24 order of a single judge, who dismissed the agency’s plea seeking to restrain OpenAI from using its content to train ChatGPT. The judge held that OpenAI’s use of such material falls within the statutory exception of “fair dealing” under Indian copyright law.
