Why in news
The Delhi High Court ruled that OpenAI's use of ANI's content to train AI models does not infringe copyright, establishing a precedent for 'fair dealing' in AI training.

The Delhi High Court denied ANI's plea for an interim injunction against OpenAI. Justice Amit Bansal ruled that the use of content for training AI models falls under the fair dealing exemption for research under the Indian Copyright Act.
