Perplexity AI offers US$34.5bil for Google Chrome
SAN FRANCISCO: Perplexity AI offered Google on Tuesday US$34.5 billion for its popular Chrome web browser, which the internet giant could potentially be forced to sell as part of antitrust proceedings. The whopping sum proposed in a letter of intent by Perplexity is nearly double the value of the startup, which was reportedly US$18 billion in a recent funding round. "This proposal is designed to satisfy an antitrust remedy in highest public interest by placing Chrome with a capable, independent operator focused on continuity, openness, and consumer protection," Perplexity chief executive Aravind Srinivas said in the letter, a copy of which was seen by AFP. Google is awaiting US District Court Judge Amit Mehta's ruling on what "remedies" to impose, following a landmark decision last year that said the tech titan maintained an illegal monopoly in online search. US government attorneys have called for Google to divest itself of the Chrome browser, contending that artificial intelligence is poised to ramp up the tech giant's dominance as the go-to window into the internet. Google has urged Mehta to reject the divestment, and his decision is expected by the end of the month. Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Perplexity's offer vastly undervalues Chrome and "should not be taken seriously," Baird Equity Research analysts said in a note to investors. Given that Perplexity already has a browser that competes with Chrome, the San Francisco-based startup could be trying to spark others to bid or "influence the pending decision" in the antitrust case, Baird analysts theorised. "Either way, we believe Perplexity would view an independent Chrome – or one no longer affiliated with Google – as an advantage as it attempts to take browser share," Baird analysts told investors. Google contends that the United States has gone way beyond the scope of the suit by recommending a spinoff of Chrome, and holding open the option to force a sale of its Android mobile operating system. "Forcing the sale of Chrome or banning default agreements wouldn't foster competition," said Cato Institute senior fellow in technology policy Jennifer Huddleston. "It would hobble innovation, hurt smaller players, and leave users with worse products." Google attorney John Schmidtlein noted in court that more than 80 per cent of Chrome users are outside the United States, meaning divestiture would have global ramifications. "Any divested Chrome would be a shadow of the current Chrome," he contended. "And once we are in that world, I don't see how you can say anybody is better off." The potential of Chrome being weakened or spun off comes as rivals such as Microsoft, ChatGPT and Perplexity put generative artificial intelligence (AI) to work fetching information from the internet in response to user queries. Google is among the tech companies investing heavily to be a leader in AI, and is weaving the technology into search and other online offerings.--AFP

Red Bull buy English rugby strugglers Newcastle
LONDON: Red Bull further extended their interests in sport on Tuesday by investing in rugby union for the first time by taking over English top-flight strugglers Newcastle. The Austria-based energy drinks company already has significant interests in football, motor racing and winter sports. The club will now be known as Newcastle Red Bulls. Oliver Mintzlaff, Red Bull CEO corporate projects and investments, said their aim was to 'empower the club to reach its full competitive potential'. They face an uphill task as they take over a club that has failed to sparkle in recent years, finishing bottom in the past three Premiership campaigns. Semore Kurdi, who had been majority owner since 2011, put Newcastle up for sale towards the end of last year. 'Red Bull's takeover of Newcastle is a landmark moment for our sport and a powerful endorsement of our vision and strategy for the future of the PREM,' PREM chief executive Simon Massie-Taylor said in a statement, using the new name for the rebranded Premiership. 'We are hugely excited by Red Bull's ambition for the club, which includes developing the player pathway in the North East and growing the club's fanbase,' he added. He said Red Bull's 'track record in global sport' would bring 'enormous value not only to Newcastle but to the PREM as a whole'. There will be no upheavals at the top with the vastly-experienced Steve Diamond remaining the club's director of rugby. The Newcastle players will get a chance to show their qualities to their new owners when they get their season underway with a home match against six-time champions Saracens on September 26. But while Red Bull have won six Formula One constructors' championships and eight drivers' world titles, Diamond warned the new regime would take time to make its presence felt at Newcastle -- although it would deliver success. 'We'll be looking at world-class facilities, world-class players, world-class coaches coming to Newcastle over the next three or four years to hopefully dominate in the future,' Diamond told a conference call. He added: 'The situation has happened at a difficult time for recruiting, so the main job I've been doing for the last four weeks is getting my ducks in a row to have a competitive team for September.' Diamond, however, is in no doubt of the importance of Red Bull's investment given Newcastle's nearest rival Premiership club is Sale, more than 100 miles away. 'It future-proofs the professional game in the North East and the north,' he said. - AFP
