As the company that either invented or popularized the dive watch, the GMT watch, the first water-resistant watch, the first automatic watches, and much more besides, you could hardly downplay Rolex’s influence on watchmaking history. But while its iconic sports watches, like the Submariner, Daytona and GMT-Master are endlessly imitated, Rolex is not seen as a trendsetter, preferring to ignore passing horological fashions. It does its own thing, iterating carefully and minimally on its age-old t

Merriam-Webster's dictionary defines the verb plagiarize as "to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own: use (another's production) without crediting the source." And that's exactly what its parent company, Encyclopedia Britannica, is alleging the AI company Perplexity did with its AI answers engine, according to a complaint filed Thursday in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York.

Artificial intelligence might be booming on paper, but in the real world, there are signs of a major slowdown.
