Amazon is investigating claims that Perplexity AI, a startup aiming to compete with Google in information search, is scraping content from websites without permission. The investigation was prompted by WIRED's report that Perplexity AI was allegedly scraping prohibited content from websites and using servers from Amazon Web Services. Perplexity denies violating AWS terms and has faced accusations of plagiarism, including publishing summarized versions of news stories without proper attribution. Despite defending its practices, the startup has come under scrutiny for fake quotes and lack of citation. Amazon is currently assessing the situation and engaging with the company.
