Summary

Perplexity responds to lawsuits filed by The Wall Street Journal and New York Post by arguing that generative AI search tools provide a transformative, legally supported way for people to access publicly reported information, rather than improperly claiming ownership of facts. The company emphasizes its use of prominent sources and inline citations, notes that it has created revenue-sharing partnerships with publishers including TIME, Fortune, and Der Spiegel, and says it remains open to commercial cooperation with News Corp. Perplexity contends that the complaints misrepresent examples of allegedly reproduced content and falsely claim the company ignored outreach, asserting it replied the same day before the lawsuit was filed. It also argues that similar media lawsuits have relied on unrepresentative examples that plaintiffs later decline to use in litigation, and states that it will defend itself while continuing to develop AI-powered search in collaboration with publishers where possible.
