OpenAI did not violate copyright laws by using ANI news to train ChatGPT: Delhi High Court declines interim relief In an interim order, Justice Amit Bansal ruled that such use of content to train the Large Language Model (LLM) falls under the fair dealing provision of Section 52(1)(a) of the Copyright Act. *"Therefore, it does not amount to infringement under Section 51,"* the Court ruled. The Court said that outputs generated by ChatGPT using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technique does not amount to copyright infringement since the answers generated by the Artificial Intelligence (AI)-tool were not substantially similar to the original content published by ANI. *"Further, ANI has failed to satisfy this Court that any memorisation or regurgitation of ANI's copyrighted literary works has happened to the responses generated by ChatGPT,"* the Court added. Thus, the Court declined to restrain ChatGPT from using the content published by ANI. It said irreparable injury would be caused not only to OpenAI but to public interest also if any interim injunction is granted in favour of ANI at this stage. *"ANI has failed to make out a prima facie case for grant of interim injunction. Balance of convenience is also against grant of interim injunction,"* the Bench said while dismissing ANI's interim application. The Court stated that ChatGPT has transformed information and is being used all around the world for beneficial purposes. https://www.barandbench.com/news/litigation/openai-did-not-violate-copyright... -- Madhan, M
