OpenAI disputes Indian court jurisdiction over erasing of training data

OpenAI has told an Indian court that it cannot delete the data used to train its AI model, ChatGPT, as doing so would conflict with its legal obligations in the United States. The company, in its argument, also said that this matter does come under Indian court jurisdiction as because OpenAI has no physical presence or servers in India.

This development comes as part of a lawsuit filed by a leading Indian news agency, ANI, accusing OpenAI of copyright infringement and also against artificial intelligence (AI) ethics. ANI claims that OpenAI used its articles without permission to train ChatGPT and has demanded that the data be deleted.

What we know about the OpenAI legal challenge

In its 86-page court filing dated 10 January, OpenAI explained that it is bound by U.S. laws to preserve its training data due to AI legal issues and the ongoing copyright disputes in the United States, including a high-profile case brought by The New York Times. The company said it cannot selectively delete ANI’s data while complying with U.S. legal requirements.

OpenAI further argued that it does not operate in India, stating, “The company has no office or permanent establishment in India, and its servers are located outside the country.”

Therefore, the ChatGPT maker believes that Indian courts lack the authority to enforce ANI’s demands.
