{"title": "New York Times and Chicago Tribune Initiate Legal Action Against Perplexity for Copyright Violations", "body": ["Two prominent newspapers, The New York Times and the Chicago Tribune, have launched distinct legal challenges against Perplexity, claiming breaches of copyright. According to The Times, multiple notices demanding cessation of content usage were issued prior to any resolution, yet the artificial intelligence firm continued its practices."], ["The Times' court filing details accusations of copyright violations occurring in dual phases. Initially, through the extraction of material from its online platform, even in live sessions, to develop AI systems and supply data to tools such as the Claude conversational agent and the Comet web navigator. Subsequently, in the results generated by Perplexity's offerings, where the publication alleges that its stories are frequently replicated word-for-word. Furthermore, The Times contends that Perplexity harmed its reputation by linking invented details—known as hallucinations—to the outlet."], ["The Chicago Tribune has also brought a case against Perplexity on comparable grounds. In its complaint, the publication asserts that the firm's AI-generated responses mirror its material either exactly or very closely. It further states, based on available evidence, that Perplexity has unauthorizedly duplicated vast quantities of protected Tribune articles, footage, visuals, and additional creations to fuel its technologies and services."], ["These actions represent the most recent developments in a series of numerous disputes between content owners and AI developers across the United States. For example, The Times earlier took OpenAI and Microsoft to court, charging them with building their advanced language systems using countless unauthorized pieces from its archives; that proceeding remains active."], ["In certain instances, rights holders have arranged content-sharing pacts with AI entities. OpenAI, for one, has forged several partnerships with news organizations. This year, The Times secured a pact with Amazon reportedly valued at up to $25 million annually for the publication."]]}
