Mumbai, January 27: OpenAI has faced lawsuits before related to the content usage of media publications without seeking permission. The New York Times filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against the ChatGPT developer in court, alleging that the company used its news without seeking consent or payment. The prominent Indian organisations from Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani are about to enter a legal battle with Sam Altman-run company over copyrighted material.

According to reports, the US-based AI company known for ChatGPT, Sora and other AI tools will soon face a lawsuit from more Indian media firms after ANI for violating the copyrights and using the content without permission.
