📰 Chicago Tribune Sues Perplexity Over Copyright Use

The Chicago Tribune has filed a federal lawsuit against Perplexity, accusing the AI search engine of using its content without permission, particularly through its RAG-powered chatbot and Comet browser.

The Details:

• Tribune alleges Perplexity delivers its articles verbatim, despite denials from the company’s legal team.

• The suit claims Perplexity’s Comet browser bypasses paywalls to generate detailed summaries of Tribune content.

• Tribune points to misuse of its content in Perplexity’s RAG systems, which are designed to reduce hallucinations by citing real sources.

• The lawsuit joins Tribune Publishing’s broader legal battle, with 17 of its outlets suing OpenAI, Microsoft, and now Perplexity.

• The case could test how courts view copyright liability not just for model training, but also real-time AI tools using scraped data.

Why it matters:

AI tools using live content retrieval are facing growing legal scrutiny. If courts side with publishers, RAG-based systems like Perplexity could be forced to rethink how they gather and present information.

🛍️ Google Adds Shoppable AI Feed to Doppl App

Google is rolling out a new AI-powered discovery feed in Doppl, its virtual try-on app, letting users browse outfits and shop directly from an AI-generated video feed.

The Details:

• The feed features AI-generated outfit videos tailored to your style based on Doppl interactions.

• Nearly every item shown is shoppable, with links leading straight to retailers.

• Unlike TikTok or Instagram, the feed has no influencers — it’s entirely AI content.

• Doppl has long offered virtual try-on with avatars, but now expands into short-form video-based recommendations.

• The new feed is live for U.S. users aged 18+ on iOS and Android.

Why it matters:

Google is betting on AI-driven shopping as the next evolution of e-commerce. By blending virtual try-ons with TikTok-style feeds, Doppl could reshape how users discover and purchase fashion — without needing real models or creators.

🕶️ Google to Launch First of its AI Glasses in 2026

Google is officially reentering the smart glasses game, with plans to launch its first AI-powered glasses in 2026—taking direct aim at Meta’s wearable push.

The Details:

• Two versions are coming: audio-only glasses powered by Gemini AI, and display glasses with in-lens visuals like directions and translations.

• Partners include Samsung, Gentle Monster, and Warby Parker (which confirmed a 2026 debut).

• The glasses will run on Android XR, Google’s OS for spatial computing.

• This follows a $150M investment commitment from Google in May.

• Google also teased updates to the Galaxy XR headset, like Windows PC linking and travel mode.

Why it matters:

Google’s smart glasses comeback is a direct play to stay competitive in the AI wearables race. With Meta, Snap, and others already in-market, 2026 could mark a showdown for AI eyewear dominance.
