BBC threatens AI firm Perplexity with legal action over unauthorised use of news content
Briefly

The BBC has issued a legal warning to Perplexity, an AI company, for allegedly reproducing its content without consent. This move marks a significant step in the media's battle against AI misuse of journalism. The BBC claims its chatbot misrepresents stories and damages its reputation among UK audiences. In response, Perplexity dismissed the claims as part of a broader strategy by the BBC to protect its interests against perceived monopolistic threats. The conflict highlights ongoing concerns about copyright violations in AI training and the practices of web scraping.
The BBC's claims are just one more part of the overwhelming evidence that the BBC will do anything to preserve Google's illegal monopoly.
It is highly damaging to the BBC, injuring the BBC's reputation with audiences... and undermining their trust in the BBC.
