Like it or not, artificial intelligence is becoming a fixture in the classroom. This is being pushed along at a brisk pace by tech companies eager to get their products into the hands of millions of students. On Thursday, Perplexity became the latest AI developer to offer a back-to-school special: Students can access of Comet, the company's AI-centered web browsing platform that debuted in July to rival Google's Chrome and Apple's Safari. The browser is currently available through Perplexity Pro, which costs $200 annually.

Artificial intelligence systems need content to produce results, and they've been criticized for not paying the people who wrote and edited that content. Now, Perplexity AI, the AI-powered search engine, is introducing Comet Plus. This new subscription tier will distribute revenue to publishing partners whenever readers use AI to glean or deliver journalistic content, the company said in a blog post on Monday.
