CNN Sues Perplexity Over AI Content Theft

CNN has filed a lawsuit against AI startup Perplexity in a New York court, alleging its tools generate verbatim copies of CNN's original reporting. The suit also claims Perplexity unlawfully provides users with content hidden behind CNN's subscription paywall. The legal action targets Perplexity's AI answer engine, which compiles and presents information in response to user queries. The case adds to growing legal pressure on AI companies over the unauthorized use of copyrighted content.
