3-year-old AI startup wants to buy Chrome for $34.5 billion

Perplexity AI suddenly offered to buy Google Chrome for 34.5 billion USD, but the possibility of a successful deal is assessed by experts as very low.

Perplexity AI, a 3-year-old AI startup, has just shocked the world by offering to buy Google Chrome for $34.5 billion in cash.

This figure far exceeds Perplexity's own current valuation, which is only around $14-18 billion.

The proposal comes as Google is under legal pressure to split Chrome from Alphabet.

Chrome now has more than 3 billion users and is a valuable source of data for Google's advertising operations.

Aravind Srinivas, head of Perplexity, said several investment funds were ready to finance the entire deal.

Perplexity pledges to keep the source code open and invest $3 billion over two years if it buys Chrome.

However, legal experts say the chances of success are low due to the lengthy appeal process. (Photo: AllAboutAI.com)

Google has said it will fight to the death to keep Chrome, which is a pillar of its AI strategy.
