The copyright case of ANI versus OpenAI: ‘fair dealing’ harbour or an overstretch of the law?

The Delhi High Court dismissed ANI’s copyright infringement suit against OpenAI, finding AI training on copyrighted content falls under “fair dealing.” The authors argue this ruling excessively expands the “private or personal use, including research” exception to commercial AI use, an interpretation that sits uneasily with copyright law's text and principles. They contend it fails to consider market harm to creators. The article asserts that balancing AI innovation with creator rights necessitates legislative reform, as existing copyright laws were not designed for generative AI, rather than judicial expansion.
