CERT-In’s New AI-Vulnerability Guidelines: A Quick-Reference For OEMs, Tech Vendors And In-House Counsel

At the centre of this finding is whether OpenAI’s use of ANI’s articles to train its models, fall under the ambit of the ‘fair dealing’ exception under Section 52(1)(a) of the Copyright Act, 1957 (“Act”).
