New Delhi (Reuters) -India has created a panel to review if the existing Copyright law is enough to deal with AI -related disputes, showed an official note, at a time when Openai faces legal challenges arising from accusations of exploiting copyright material.

A case in the High Court of New Delhi for a group of Indian outlets and book publishers who say that the firm uses its content without permission to help form their Chatgpt chat could remodel the operation of the sector in India.

Openai has denied the offenses.

The note, which is not public, said that the Ministry of Commerce established a group of eight experts last month to examine issues related to the IA and their implications for the Copyright Act of India.

Experts have been responsible for “identifying and analyzing legal and political problems arising from the use of Artificial intelligence In the context of copyright, he added the note.

The Intellectual Property Law, Government officials and industry executives will also examine the adequacy of the copyright law of 1957 to resolve these concerns and make recommendations to the Government, he said.

The Indian Ministries of Commerce and Infotection did not respond to Reuters consultations.

The copyright law has been at the center of the Openai demands in India.

The NDTV of Gautam Adani’s billionaire, along with the Indian Express and Hindustan Times newspapers and the Digital News Publishers Association, which brings together the most important communication points, say they share concerns about copyright law violations by AI platforms that use their data to form these applications.

Openai says he uses public data to form his chat, which is not a violation of the Copyright Act of India, and also provides a deactivation for websites that do not want to use their data.

The courts around the world are feeling claims for authors, news organizations and musicians who accuse technology companies of using their copyright work to train AI services without permission or payment.
