Amazon Sues Perplexity to Stop Its AI Tool From Helping Shoppers

Amazon is suing Perplexity AI to stop the startup from using its AI agent to help users shop. The e-commerce giant is accusing Perplexity of committing computer fraud by failing to disclose when the tool called Comet is shopping on a real person’s behalf, in violation of Amazon’s terms of service, according to the complaint in San Francisco federal court. It’s a confusing case and Bloomberg’s Matt Day explains it on “Bloomberg Tech.”
