Amazon lost to Perplexity

The US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a preliminary injunction by Amazon against Perplexity, ruling that Perplexity's AI assistant did not violate the law by accessing Amazon's computers.

The decision was made after considering the case for 7 hours and scoring 184 points. The court decided that access to Amazon's computers was made by a user, not the tool.

This verdict may have significant implications for the development and use of AI tools in the future.

This decision changes the approach to regulating access to computer systems and may affect the development of AI technologies.
