ANI expressed concern about OpenAI's ChatGPT attributing fabricated interviews to ANI, including a non-existent conversation with Rahul Gandhi, a political leader. The news agency argues that such "hallucinations" pose a threat to its reputation and can lead to public disorder. The court plans to appoint an independent expert to advise on the copyright implications of AI models using publicly available content and will examine additional technical aspects in future hearings. The next hearing is scheduled for January.
Key takeaways:
- Asian News International, one of India's largest news agencies, has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging the AI company illegally used its content to train its AI models and generated false information.
- This is the first time an Indian media organization has taken legal action against OpenAI over copyright claims.
- OpenAI is facing global pressure and multiple lawsuits over their use of copyrighted material, including over a dozen in the US, two in Canada, and one in Germany.
