Amazon is reviewing claims that the artificial intelligence startup Perplexity AI is scraping content — including from prominent news sites — without approval.

Amazon’s “terms of service prohibit abusive and illegal activities and our customers are responsible for complying with those terms,” Mayowa said in a prepared statement. “We routinely receive reports of alleged abuse from a variety of sources and engage our customers to understand those reports.” Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas has offered a robust defense of the startup after it published a summarized news story with information and similar wording to a Forbes investigative story. It did so without citing the media outlet or asking for its permission. Forbes later said it found similar “knock-off” stories lifted from other publications.

Canadians rightfully expect that their purchases, from phones to washers and dryers, work well and last for years, and that's why the Government of Canada is committed to improving Canadians' ability to repair home appliances and consumer electronics. Every generation should be able to repair their broken appliances or devices—and at a fair price—rather than being forced to purchase a new product when one component fails.
