NEW DELHI (Reuters) -- A group of India's top Bollywood music labels, from T-Series to Saregama and Sony, is seeking to join a copyright lawsuit against OpenAI in New Delhi, highlighting worries about improper use of recordings to train AI models, legal documents show.

Microsoft-backed OpenAI's legal challenges are mounting globally, including in India, its second-biggest market by users. But the company says it follows fair-use principles in employing publicly available data to build its AI models.
