Skip to Main ContentNew York Times, Chicago Tribune Sue Perplexity AI For Reproducing Their StoriesPerplexity AI, an artificial-intelligence-based chatbot and search engine, is up against two new lawsuits as both the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune allege the startup has been stealing their content.Both outlets allege that Perplexity has been reproducing large chunks of their stories, sometimes presenting the information inaccurately, without having negotiated an agreement with the publications to do so. Both filed in New York federal court. The lawsuits add to the broader conflict between AI companies and writers who allege the startups have been unfairly benefiting from their work by using it to train their models and diverting traffic away from the source.Dow Jones, which owns The Wall Street Journal, sued Perplexity on similar grounds last year.See All UpdatesClose
