In an unlikely bid that shows the growing brashness of young artificial intelligence companies, the A.I. start-up Perplexity has made an unsolicited offer to buy Google’s Chrome web browser for $34.5 billion.

Perplexity AI, the high-flying A.I. startup founded by former Google intern Aravind Srinivas , has made a bold all-cash offer of $34.5 billion to acquire Google’s Chrome browser, Reuters reported. The bid is nearly twice Perplexity’s own valuation and would require significant external financing.
