News Publishers sue AI search engine Perplexity for copyright infringement

Came across another example today of news publishers suing AI for copyright infringement. The Wall Street Journal and New York Post sue AI search engine Perplexity accusing Perplexity of copying copyrighted news and using it to generate responses to users’ queries. The article notes how it is among other actions taken against Perplexity by news publishers. For example, the New York Times recently sent a “cease and desist” letter to Perplexity and News Corp sent a letter discussing Perplexity’s unauthorized use of its news content and offering a licensing deal.
