Perplexity AI, the US-based artificial intelligence start-up, has made an unsolicited $34.5 billion (about £27.3 billion) offer to acquire Google Chrome from parent company Alphabet, surprising the global tech industry.
The proposal comes amid ongoing antitrust scrutiny of Google's dominance in the browser market. Perplexity says the acquisition would help address regulatory concerns, but analysts have questioned both the seriousness and feasibility of the bid.
