A U.S. appeals court on Tuesday overturned a ruling that had temporarily barred Perplexity from using its AI-powered agentic shopping tools on ‌Amazon's platform. In a novel legal dispute, the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court ‌of Appeals determined that Amazon was unlikely to succeed on its claim that Perplexity's AI agents violated a federal ​computer-hacking law. The ruling is the first by a federal appeals court to address whether AI agents acting on behalf of users can legally access online platforms, a question with broad implications for the fast-growing field of agentic AI tools that can browse, shop and transact across the web.

The total is nearly four times the roughly $285 billion of lease liabilities already recognised on the companies' balance sheets, according to company filings compiled by ‌Reuters.
