New Delhi (Reuters) – Indian book publishers and their international partners filed a lawsuit for copyright against Openi in New Delhi, said the representative on Friday, the latest in a series of global cases trying to prevent Chatgpt Chatbot to access the owner’s content.

Courts around the world listen to lawsuits of authors, newspaper houses and musicians who accuse technological companies to use their work protected by copyright for training of AI services and seeking to delete content used for Chatbot training.

The Federation of Indian publishers based in New Delhi told Reuters that she had filed a lawsuit to the High Court in Delhi, who had a similar lawsuit against OpenIA.

The lawsuit was launched on behalf of all Federation members, including publishers such as Bloomsbury, Ponguin Random House, Cambridge University Pressa and Pan Macmillan, as well as the Indian hole publications and S.CHND and CO, according to.

“Our request from the court is to stop the (Openi) approach to our content protected copyright,” said Pranav Gupta, Secretary General of the Federation in an interview with a lawsuit, which refers to the Chatgpt Summities Summities.

“In case they do not want to do licensing with us, they should delete data sets used in AI training and explain how we will get compensation. This affects creativity,” he added.

Openii did not respond to the request for comment on the charges and the lawsuit, which was filed in December, but it is reported here for the first time. He repeatedly rejected such accusations, saying that his AI systems honestly use publicly available data.

Openai launched an investment, consumer and corporate madness for generative artificial intelligence after starting Chatgpt in November 2022. He wants to be ahead of AI race after raising $ 6.6 billion last year.

The Indian Book publisher group seeks to join an Indian news agency Ana against OpenAI supporting Microsoft, which is the most prominent legal procedure in the country on this topic.

“These cases represent a crucial moment and can potentially form a future legal framework for artificial intelligence in India. The judgment rendered here will test the balance between the protection of intellectual ownership and promoting technological progress,” said Siddharth Chandrashekhar, a Mumbai lawyer.

Responding to the Ana case, Openii said in the comments this week Reuters said that any order to delete training would result in a violation of US legal obligations, and Indian judges have no right to listen to the copyright case against the company as its servers are abroad .

The Federation said Openi offers services in India, so his activities should come under Indian laws.

Reuters, which holds a 26% share of Ana, said in a statement that he was not involved in his business practice or surgery.

Openai first got a job in India last year when he hired former WhatsApp executive director, Pragya Misra, managing public policy and partnerships in the country of 1.4 billion people, where millions of new users go on the Internet, thanks to cheap mobile data prices.

Concerns about book abstracts

Reuters journalist asked Chatgpt on Friday for details about the first volume of Harry Potter by JK Rowling, published by Bloomsbury. The AI ​​tool responded with a summary of the chapter by chapters and a summary of key events, including the highlight of the story.

However, he did not give the actual text, saying, “I cannot give the whole text of the book because it is a material protected by copyright.”

In November, Ponguin Random House announced that he had launched a global initiative to include a statement on the author of the copyright of his titles that “no part of this book should be used or reproduced in any way for training” AI technology.

The December submission of the Indian Federation, in which Reuters had insight, claims that he received “credible evidence/information” from his members that Openi used their literary works to train his chatgpt service.

“This free tool produces books summaries, excerpts, why would people buy books then?” said Gupta, referring to AI chatbots that use excerpts from unlicensed online copies. “This will affect our sale, all members are worried about it.”

The charge of the Federation has so far only been listed before the Secretary-General in New Delhi, who asked Openi on January 10 to respond to the matter. The judge will now listen to the case 28 January.
