A U.S. appeals court overturned a temporary ban that prevented Perplexity's AI shopping agents from accessing Amazon's platform. Amazon had claimed the AI violated federal hacking laws, but the court ruled that it was Perplexity's users, not the company itself, who accessed Amazon, making Amazon's claim unlikely to succeed.

Both companies remain firm, with Perplexity committed to user choice in AI tools and Amazon considering its next legal steps.
