OpenAI Faces Legal Challenges in India

OpenAI is facing legal challenges in India from Bollywood music labels T-Series and Saregama as well as media groups accusing the company of unauthorized use of copyrighted content to train its AI models. Bollywood labels argue that OpenAI's practices could impact not only India's music industry but the global market. Media companies, including those linked to Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani, allege OpenAI uses their content without permission, although OpenAI denies these claims, stating reliance on publicly available data under fair-use principles. Meanwhile, OpenAI has updated its ChatGPT platform by removing 'warning' messages that flagged potential policy violations, a move aimed at reducing unnecessary content denials. This change has raised concerns about possible shifts in content moderation strategies amidst accusations of censorship, particularly regarding political viewpoints. OpenAI has asserted that the update does not alter its content policies but enhances user communication.
