The Odyssey - OpenAI survives ANI's first storm

Date: 28 Jul 2026

Time: 15:00

Venue: Virtual Session

The Delhi High Court has delivered its much-awaited interim ruling in ANI Media Pvt. Ltd. v. OpenAI, marking one of the most significant judicial developments in India's evolving AI copyright landscape. The judgment addresses critical issues concerning the use of copyrighted content for training Large Language Models (LLMs), AI-generated outputs, fair dealing under the Copyright Act, territorial jurisdiction, and the interaction between intellectual property rights and generative AI technologies. 

As organizations increasingly integrate Generative AI into their products, services, and operations, concerns regarding copyright compliance, data usage, data protection, and regulatory oversight have become critical business considerations. This decision will have crucial implications for AI businesses, technology companies, content owners, publishers, investors, enterprises deploying AI solutions, and businesses integrating generative AI into their operations. It is also expected to influence future commercial practices, licensing strategies, data governance frameworks, and the broader evolution of India's AI regulatory landscape. 

This webinar discusses its practical implications and explores what businesses should consider going forward.
