The Wall Street Journal has filed a lawsuit against Perplexity AI, alleging copyright infringement. The suit claims that Perplexity AI, a popular AI-driven search and Q&A platform, has used the Journal’s content without proper licensing or permission. According to legal documents, the Wall Street Journal argues that Perplexity AI’s use of its proprietary articles violates copyright law by reproducing and distributing content in a way that undermines its business model.

Perplexity AI, known for generating answers based on large datasets, has yet to issue a public response. The case highlights growing tensions between AI companies and content creators, as more news outlets push back against unlicensed use of their materials by AI platforms.

This lawsuit comes amid a wave of similar actions by major publishers, underscoring the broader conversation about intellectual property rights in the age of AI. Content creators are increasingly calling for stricter regulations to protect their work from being repurposed by AI-driven tools without compensation.
