Perplexity CEO Asks If AI Startup Should Acquire Google Chrome Following DOJ's Antitrust Push Against Search Giant
The discussion comes after Judge Perplexity AI CEO Aravind Srinivas has jumped into the Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google antitrust conversation by asking his followers on X if his AI startup should acquire the Google Chrome browser.
Perplexity AI首席執行官阿拉溫德·斯里尼瓦斯（Aravind Srinivas）參與了Alphabet Inc.（納斯達克：GOOG）（納斯達克：GOOGL）Google反壟斷對話，通過在X上詢問他的關注者，是否他的人工智能初創公司應該收購Google Chrome瀏覽器。
This comes amid the U.S. Department of Justice's push to break up Google's empire.
這一舉動發生在美國司法部推動分裂谷歌帝國之際。
What Happened: Srinivas sparked speculation by posting "Should Perplexity buy Chrome?" on X, following reports that Chrome could be valued at up to $20 billion if a court-ordered sale materializes.
事件經過：斯里尼瓦斯發佈了"Perplexity是否應該購買Chrome？"的帖子，引發了猜測，此前有報道稱，如果法院裁定出售成爲現實，Chrome的價值可能高達200億美元。
The discussion comes after Judge Amit Mehta's August ruling that Google maintains an illegal monopoly in online search. The DOJ is now seeking remedies, including the potential sale of Chrome, the world's dominant web browser.
該討論發生在法官阿米特·梅塔（Amit Mehta）在8月的裁決之後，裁定Google在在線搜索上保持了非法壟斷地位。美國司法部現在正在尋求解決方案，包括潛在出售Chrome，這是全球主導的網絡瀏覽器。

Perplexity是否應該購買Chrome？
- 阿拉溫德·斯里尼瓦斯（@AravSrinivas）2024年11月20日
Why It Matters: Perplexity, founded just two years ago and backed by Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), has shown remarkable growth. The San Francisco-based company is reportedly in talks to raise approximately $500 million in its fourth funding round, potentially pushing its valuation to $8 billion or higher – a significant jump from its $3 billion previous valuation. The company's annualized revenue has reached $50 million, up from $10 million in March.
爲何重要：成立僅兩年的Perplexity得到了亞馬遜公司（納斯達克股票代碼：AMZN）的支持，展現出了顯著的增長。這家總部位於舊金山的公司據稱正就在其第四輪融資中籌集約50000萬美元進行談判，可能將估值推升至80億美元或更高——這是其之前30億美元估值的顯著躍升。該公司的年化營業收入已經達到5000萬美元，較3月份的1000萬美元有所增長。
The AI-powered search engine has gained significant traction, reporting 250 million questions answered in the past month alone, compared to 500 million queries throughout all of last year.
這家由人工智能驅動的搜索引擎獲得了顯著的關注，僅在過去一個月裏回答了25000萬個問題，相比去年全部查詢量50000萬個的數量。
However, the company faces challenges, including criticism from web publishers over content usage rights, with The New York Times issuing a cease-and-desist notice.
然而，該公司面臨挑戰，包括來自網絡發行商對內容使用權的批評，紐約時報發出了停止和退出通知。
