The New York Times comes down hard on Perplexity AI: “Stop Playing with My Stuff?”
Legal Showdown: NYT vs. Perplexity AI
The New York Times has issued a cease-and-desist letter to Perplexity AI, demanding the company stop using its content without authorization, reports The Verge. Perplexity AI’s search engine aggregates and displays excerpts from NYT articles, sparking concerns over copyright infringement and fair use violations.
Rising Copyright Tensions in the AI Era
This conflict reflects broader tensions between content publishers and AI-powered services that rely on scraping data from media outlets. The NYT’s legal move could have implications for other search engines and aggregators that use AI to deliver information.
Editor’s Comment:
Interestingly, here at PacificIslands.ai, we use AI to source and summarise articles from media outlets. So why are we different? Because we attribute the authors and we provide links to the original stories, hopefully providing them additional traffic. In this case, we clearly side with the New York Times.
