Gold prices rise on weaker dollar, Fed easing bets; holds long-term appeal
Investing.com -- Amazon.com Inc has reportedly ssued a cease-and-desist letter to Perplexity AI Inc, demanding the artificial intelligence search startup discontinue its AI browser agent called Comet from making online purchases for users.
The e-commerce company accused Perplexity of computer fraud for not disclosing when its AI agent shops on behalf of users, which Amazon claims violates its terms of service, according to a Bloomberg report on Tuesday which cited an internal letter. The letter, sent Friday, also stated that Perplexity’s tool degraded the Amazon shopping experience and created privacy vulnerabilities.
Perplexity responded to the allegations by claiming Amazon is bullying a smaller competitor that offers a rival AI agent shopping product.
