The Delhi high court ruling is unlikely to be the last word on intellectual property used for AI training

India's Delhi High Court denied ANI an injunction against OpenAI, ruling AI training on public content potentially ‘fair dealing’ for research, even commercially. It found no substantial reproduction and prioritized AI development's broader impact over ANI's compensable loss. This ruling isn't blanket immunity. The author emphasizes India's urgent need for a framework balancing competitive AI development with rights holders' legitimate concerns about content erosion. Divergent judicial and regulatory approaches exist; future disputes will focus on AI outputs, not just training.

Indiamart vs OpenAI case: India's IT intermediary framework must adapt to the age of AI

India's IT rules struggle with Generative AI, as tech evolution has outpaced legislation. The Calcutta High Court's Indiamart vs OpenAI case underscores this dilemma: AI chatbots generate content, complicating intermediary liability and safe harbour provisions. The Information Technology Act of 2000, designed for passive platforms, cannot adequately classify active Generative AI systems. This mismatch raises complex questions about legal attribution, creating an untenable situation where neither classifying AI as an intermediary nor an originator fully resolves the issue. A new legal framework is urgently needed to address this technological shift and ensure appropriate regulation.
