As Perplexity AI deals with a number of legal challenges from news publishers — including News Corp’s Dow Jones and the New York Post — concerned about how the company summarizes and utilizes their content to inform its answers for users, Senior Editor Devin Coldewey came out swinging during CEO Aravind Srinivas’ Disrupt Stage interview.
When asked how Perplexity defined “plagiarism,” Srinivas wouldn’t say, but was adamant that the company “always cites its sources” and doesn’t claim ownership of any content. Srinivas also mentioned several times during the interview that Perplexity is working with media companies including Time, Fortune, and Der Spiegel in a revenue-share program.
