One of the nations largest newspapers is targeting another AI firm for reusing its content without its permission. The Wall Street Journal reported that the New York Times sent a cease and desist letter to Perplexity, the AI startup funded by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. The letter states that Perplexitys use of the New York Times content to create answers and summaries with its AI portal violates copyright law. The letter states that Perplexity and its backers have been unjustly enriched by using, without authorizations, The Times expressive, carefully written and researched, and edited journalism without a license and gave the startup until October 30 to respond before taking legal action. Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas told the Journal that they arent ignoring the notice. He added they are very much interested in working with every single publisher, including the New York Times. This isnt the first time an AI company has earned the wrath of the New York Times legal team. The newspaper took OpenAI and Microsoft to court over claims that both used articles from its pages to train its AI software. The suit alleges both companies used more than 66 million records across its archives to train its AI modes representing almost a centurys worth of copyrighted content. Amazon Web Services cloud division also started an investigation over the summer into Perplexity AI. Wired reported that a machine hosted on Amazon Web Services and operated by Perplexity visited hundreds of Condé Nast publications and properties hundreds of times to scan for content to use in its response and data collections.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/ai/the-new-york-times-tells-perplexity-to-stop-using-its-content-175853131.html?src=rss

Real estate platform Zillow has introduced comprehensive climate risk information to its property listings across the United States. It will soon feature data on five critical environmental hazards flood, wildfire, wind, heat and air quality for each home listed for sale. In addition to numerical scores, the tool provides potential buyers with interactive maps showing risks nearby, as well as historical data ("1 large wildfire within 20 miles since 1984") and projections ("this property has a 100% chance of flooding over the next 30 years"). The information is provided by climate risk modeling firm First Street, which provides a similar but less in-depth set of data to Zillow's competitor Redfin. Environmental concerns are making their way into real estate decisions. In a 2023 survey of 12,000 prospective buyers, Zillow found that 80% consider at least one climate risk when determining where to look for a new home. Most likely to do so? Millennial and Gen Z shoppers, who now comprise 54% of home buyers. Notably, just 23% of all buyers consider moving somewhere with fewer climate risks, while 27% plan to move to an area with more climate risks, where prices are likely to be lower. Affordability remains key, especially for first-time buyers.That said, buyers and sellers will increasingly take climate risk data into account as home insurance premiums skyrocket and worries about health and safety escalate. Beyond real estate: which climate-related information should your company unlock to help people make better decisions? Which risks are specific to your industry, and how can you make them transparent and easy for the average consumer to comprehend and act on?
