Perplexity CEO Offers AI Replacement for Striking NYT Staff, TechCrunch Reports
Nov 4, 2024, 06:52 PM
The CEO of Perplexity, an AI search engine, has offered to replace striking New York Times (NYT) staff with AI, a move reported by TechCrunch. This offer has sparked controversy, particularly as the NYT recently served Perplexity with a cease-and-desist order. David Sacks suggested that NYT owner A.G. Sulzberger should take the offer seriously, arguing that AI could perform the job better. The offer has been criticized by various commentators, who view it as an opportunistic attempt to capitalize on the strike. Additionally, the NYT has asked a federal judge to order OpenAI to disclose the use of its articles in training AI models, as part of a copyright infringement lawsuit.
