Samsung nears deal to integrate Perplexity AI across devices
Samsung is close to finalizing a broad partnership with Perplexity AI that would integrate the startup’s search technology into Samsung devices. The deal includes preloading Perplexity’s app and assistant on upcoming devices, potentially making it a default option on the Galaxy S26 series launching in 2026. The agreement would also allow Perplexity’s AI to be embedded in Samsung’s browser and possibly within its Bixby assistant.
Samsung is expected to invest in Perplexity as part of a $500 million funding round that would value the AI firm at $14 billion. Samsung’s effort to reduce dependence on Google and diversify its AI offerings is similar to Apple’s strategy. It also marks Perplexity’s largest mobile deal to date, following a recent collaboration with Motorola. Apple has also held talks with Perplexity as a potential alternative to Google Search and ChatGPT integration in Siri.
Why lawyers keep using ChatGPT
Lawyers continue using ChatGPT and similar AI tools despite repeated cases of filings containing fake case law, known as "hallucinations." Pressed for time and attracted by AI’s convenience, many attorneys use these tools for legal research, often without fully understanding their limitations. Incidents include fines, public reprimands, and stricken filings after judges uncovered fictitious citations. In one high-profile 2025 case, a Florida judge found nine hallucinated citations in a motion filed by journalist Tim Burke’s legal team. Still, AI use is growing. A 2024 Thomson Reuters survey found 63% of lawyers have used AI, with 12% using it regularly for tasks like summarizing case law and drafting orders. Legal research platforms like Westlaw and LexisNexis now include AI features.
Experts say most lawyers use AI responsibly, but errors happen when attorneys overtrust its output or fail to verify citations. Some, like Arizona legislator and attorney Alexander Kolodin, compare AI to a junior associate: helpful, but needing review. The American Bar Association issued its first guidance on AI use in 2024, emphasizing the duty of technological competence and client confidentiality. While some judges remain skeptical, others believe AI will become essential to legal practice, with future concerns focusing on lawyers who don’t use it.
