News Corp's Dow Jones and the NY Post have filed a lawsuit against AI startup Perplexity, alleging massive copyright violations by duplicating and misrepresenting original content.
According to the lawsuit, Perplexity's AI 'answer engine' utilizes copyrighted content on a grand scale, effectively acting as a substitute for traditional news and analysis websites.
Critics have noted that Perplexity's model deprives traditional news publishers of critical revenue sources, mimicking their work while encouraging users to 'Skip the Links'.
Perplexity defends its approach by describing data collection as indexing for model reference, rather than as direct training for their AI, raising further legal implications.
