In a cease and desist letter, The New York Times demanded Perplexity to stop using its content for generative AI, citing violations of copyright laws. NYT expressed concern about unauthorized access and the ongoing use of its material despite previous assurances from Perplexity.
Perplexity responded to the accusations by clarifying that it is not scraping data for AI models, but instead indexing web pages and providing factual content as citations to user queries.
The ongoing conflict between news publishers and AI firms highlights a growing concern over copyright infringement, as several media organizations accuse AI startups of utilizing their content without authorization.
The New York Times and other publishers are actively trying to enforce their rights against AI companies that they allege are ignoring web standards designed to restrict data scraping for generative AI.
