Chicago Tribune sues Perplexity over copyright infringement

The Chicago Tribune has filed a lawsuit against AI search engine Perplexity, alleging copyright infringement.

The lawsuit was filed in a federal court in New York on Thursday.

The Tribune's legal team had previously contacted Perplexity in mid-October to inquire whether the AI platform was using its content.

In response, Perplexity's lawyers claimed that while they didn't train their models with Tribune's work, they "may receive non-verbatim factual summaries."
