of Digital News Publishers Association (DNPA) members and other outlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, referring to OpenAI&#8217;s &#8220;wilful scraping&nbsp; and adaptation of content&#8221;, adding that &#8220;the disproportionate power of tech companies in prioritising content and extracting advertising revenue has raised concerns among publishers.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This latest filing was made by the Indian Express, Hindustan Times, Adani&#8217;s NDTV and the DNPA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It represents roughly 20 companies including Mukesh Ambani Network18 and players like Hindi daily Dainik Bhaskar, Zee News, India Today Group and the Hindu.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we know that most of these outlets have a flourishing newspaper and television news business too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, the Times of India is not part of the legal battle despite being a member of the DNPA as per the filing said without elaborating on the reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the request of comment, OpenAI reiterated an earlier statement that it was engaged in constructive partnerships with many news organisations, including in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In its defence, OpenAI was using publicly available data in a manner protected by fair use principles to build its AI models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesstoday.in\/latest\/corporate\/story\/mukesh-ambani-reclaims-title-of-indias-richest-man-from-gautam-adani-336260-2022-06-03\">Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It seems that Indian Digital news units, including those associated with billionaires Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani, are raising concerns about OpenAI\u2019s use of copyrighted content, legal papers show.
