The Government of India has released a landmark working paper proposing a new policy framework to regulate the use of copyright-protected works for training Generative AI systems. The draft, prepared by a committee formed by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), examines whether existing copyright laws adequately address challenges posed by AI technologies and recommends a hybrid statutory licensing model to balance innovation needs with creator rights.

OpenAI must produce millions of anonymized chat logs from ChatGPT users in its high-stakes copyright dispute with the New York Times and other news outlets, a federal judge in Manhattan ruled.

Meta has signed AI content licensing deals with major publishers including People Inc, CNN and Fox News. The Facebook owner said the deals will help it provide a wider variety of real-time content, including global news, entertainment and lifestyle, on its Meta AI assistant. It noted it will be linking out to the publishers and “allowing you to visit these partners’ websites for more details while providing value to partners, enabling them to reach new audiences”.
The newspaper alleged Perplexity AI had distributed and displayed journalists’ work without permission en masse. The Times said that Perplexity AI was also violating its trademarks under the Lanham Act, claiming the startup’s generative AI products create fabricated content, or “hallucinations”, and falsely attribute them to the newspaper by displaying them alongside its registered trademarks.
