Dow Jones and New York Post Sue AI Startup Perplexity, Alleging ‘Massive’ Copyright Infringement Oct 21, 2024（美國時間）
道瓊集團與紐約郵報等對Perplexity人工智能公司提起侵害著作權，又一樁侵害著作權訴訟；在美國人工智能已有多起被訴案件，其後續如何，端視司法判決。不過，我個人認為應該會有不少案件會透過和解解決；或是，以立法方式做一個妥適規範。
Perplexity宣稱可提供用戶精確且即時新聞資訊之一間人工智能公司，在該公司提供之平台，用戶可跳過原創作者之網站，經由該公司之人工智能驅動搜尋引擎，獲得欲搜尋的結果。惟Perplexity未得創作者同意，利用創作者之著作以成就自己，其所為已屬違法。
“Perplexity is a generative artificial intelligence company that claims to provide its users accurate and up-to-date news and information in a platform that, in Perplexity’s own words, allows users to ‘Skip the Links’ to original publishers’ websites,” the companies said in the federal lawsuit, filed Monday. “Perplexity attempts to accomplish this by engaging in a massive amount of illegal copying of publishers’ copyrighted works and diverting customers and critical revenues away from those copyright holders. This suit is brought by news publishers who seek redress for Perplexity’s brazen scheme to compete for readers while simultaneously freeriding on the valuable content the publishers produce.”
