In a cease and desist letter, The New York Times has accused Perplexity of using its journalism without a license despite a robots.txt file asking it not to index the site.
The New York Times has demanded that AI search engine startup Perplexity stop using content from its site in a cease and desist letter sent to the company, reports The Wall Street Journal. The Times, which is currently suing OpenAI and Microsoft over allegedly illegally training models on its content, says the startup has been using its content without permission, a claim made earlier this year by Forbes and Condé Nast.
In a statement from Perplexity spokesperson Sara Platnick, the company says it doesn’t scrape content for AI training but also argues that “no one organization owns the copyright over facts” to defend what it says is “indexing web pages and surfacing factual content.” It plans to respond to the notice by the Times’ deadline of October 30th.
