NEW DELHI: The digital arms of three major news publishers—HT Digital Streams (HT Media), IE Online Media Services Private Limited (Express Group), and NDTV Convergence—along with industry body Digital News Publishers Association (DNPA) on Monday filed an intervention application in the Delhi high court in news agency ANI's copyright lawsuit against OpenAI.

They sought to be heard as the jurisprudence set by the case will have an impact on how news is collected and disseminated.

The intervention application was filed a day before the next hearing in the case. DNPA and the publishers submitted that companies such as OpenAI violate intellectual property rights when they use their content and information on their websites and other platforms without licenses, authorization, or permissions.
