CNN files lawsuit against Perplexity over alleged unlawful content distribution
US broadcaster CNN has filed a lawsuit against AI-search start-up Perplexity, alleging unlawful distribution of its content, Investing.com reported. The case could shape how AI products may use news material going forward. Perplexity has not yet issued a detailed response.
The US news network CNN has filed a federal lawsuit against AI-search company Perplexity, according to a report from Investing.com. The complaint alleges that Perplexity copied and distributed CNN's online journalism without a copyright licence. A CNN spokesperson stressed the company's commitment to defending its investments in journalism, while Perplexity has not yet issued a detailed response to the litigation.
The lawsuit is the latest sign of the tension between large media organisations and AI companies in the United States. The litigation between the New York Times and OpenAI together with Microsoft is still under way, while publishers including Dotdash Meredith and NewsCorp have struck licensing agreements with OpenAI and Anthropic. Analysts cited by Investing.com said the court's view could shape both commercial standards in the United States and AI regulation in the European Union.
Perplexity, led by founder Aravind Srinivas, has raised significant capital in recent months and reached multi-billion-dollar valuations. The company has previously argued that its citation model for search respects news publishers.
