US Judge asks Perplexity to stop its AI shopping agents access Amazon accounts

In what seems like a troublesome phase for AI firms, a federal judge in California has sided with Amazon in its ongoing legal battle against AI startup Perplexity. The US Court issued a preliminary injunction that bars Perplexity’s Comet browser from using AI agents to access user accounts and place orders on Amazon’s platform. The ruling requires Perplexity to cease such activities and delete any Amazon-related data it has collected through its tools.
