What happens when your AI assistant can act for you, but the platform says no? In this episode of The Briefing, Scott Hervey and Richard D. Buckley, Jr. break down the high-stakes dispute between Amazon and Perplexity AI over AI agents accessing password-protected user accounts.
In this episode, they cover:
– What “agentic AI” means and how tools like Comet actually function
– Why Amazon moved quickly for a preliminary injunction
– How the CFAA and California law are being used to challenge AI-driven access
Tune in for a clear look at whether platform owners can legally fence off AI agents from interacting with their systems.
