The Wall Street Journal and New York Post Sue Perplexity: Unauthorized Use of Content to Train Large Models
Dow Jones, the parent company of The Wall Street Journal, and the New York Post are suing AI-driven search startup Perplexity for using their news content to train its large language model. The publications from these two news groups accuse Perplexity of copyright infringement by generating answers to people's queries using their articles, thereby diverting traffic from the publications' websites. 'This lawsuit is brought by news publishers seeking compensation as Perplexity openly plans to provide services for free.'
