법원, Amazon의 Perplexity 에이전트 차단 명령 뒤집어
미 항소 법원이 Perplexity의 AI 에이전트를 Amazon에서 차단하던 금지 명령을 뒤집으며, 플랫폼에 접근하는 것은 AI가 아닌 사용자라고 판결했습니다. 이 결정은 에이전트의 합법성에 관한 선례를 만듭니다.
the 9th us circuit court of appeals overturned a preliminary injunction that barred perplexity from operating its ai shopping agents on amazon, determining that users accessing their own accounts via agents does not constitute fraud by the startup. the court rejected amazon's argument that the ai company was the one accessing the computer without authorization, a distinction that validates the 'user attribution' defense for agentic ai. amazon, which called the agents a security risk and accused perplexity of ignoring cease-and-desist orders, stated it is evaluating next steps while the underlying lawsuit proceeds. this ruling establishes a critical precedent for the emerging agent economy, defining the legal boundary between automated tools and unauthorized computer access.
