PERPLEXITY STRIKES MULTI-YEAR LICENSING DEAL WITH GETTY IMAGES

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

AI search startup Perplexity has signed a multi-year licensing agreement with Getty Images, enabling it to display Getty's stock photos across its AI-powered search tools, accompanied by proper attribution and links to sources. The deal marks a shift for Perplexity, which faced plagiarism accusations this year for scraping content and images from news organizations. While Getty was previously part of Perplexity's Publishers' Program for revenue sharing, this new deal legitimizes the startup's past use of Getty photos.
