KI: US-Gericht kippt Amazon-Sperre für KI-Einkaufsassistenten von Perplexity
Amazon hat damit erfolglos gegen den Einsatz von Perplexity auf der Handelsplattform geklagt. Das Urteil könnte weitreichende Folgen für den Einsatz von KI-Agenten im Onlinehandel haben.
A US appeals court has overturned a temporary ban that prevented the AI-powered shopping assistant Perplexity from operating on Amazon's e-commerce platform. The San Francisco-based court ruled that Amazon's lawsuit, filed over an alleged violation of a US computer crime statute, likely would not succeed. This marks the first federal appeals court decision on the question of whether AI agents can legally access online platforms on behalf of users.
The ruling is expected to have far-reaching consequences for the growing industry of AI tools that can perform tasks like web browsing and online shopping independently with minimal human supervision. The court reasoned that it was the users of AI agents, not Perplexity itself, who had accessed Amazon's platform, so there was no unauthorized access to computers and data.
While Amazon expressed disagreement with the decision, it remains confident in the upcoming legal proceedings. Perplexity stated it would continue fighting for Internet users' right to use the AI of their choice.
