AI-Powered Chatbot Po Raises Copyright Concerns in Digital Journalism
AI-powered chatbot Po, owned by Quora and backed by a $75 million investment, provides downloadable articles from paywalled sources, raising copyright infringement concerns in journalism. The chatbot compresses articles into HTML files for users to download directly, bypassing paywalls of reputed outlets like the New York Times and Forbes.

Prominent media executives have observed Quora bots accessing their sites, extracting substantial text content, prompting legal scrutiny.
