The New York Times Company has filed a lawsuit against Perplexity AI, alleging that the company copied Times journalism to provide it to Perplexity's customers without permission or compensation. The Times claims that Perplexity uses a process called retrieval-augmented generation to access and deliver its copyrighted content, including material behind the Times paywall, to users in real time. Despite repeated requests to stop, Perplexity allegedly continues to use the Times's content unlawfully. The Times states it is committed to holding companies accountable for unlicensed use of its work.
