As the AI race heats up, Perplexity has persevered thanks to its focus on using technology strictly as a tool for people to “learn anything, their own way.” But how will the company stand up to tech giants, AI rivals, and the growing debate over AI and intellectual property? CEO and co-founder Aravind Srinivas explains at Disrupt 2024 in San Francisco.
Perplexity is one of a handful of top AI providers vying to succeed search engines, but questions abound, including the suitability of language models for this purpose, the cost and complexity of building and running them, and, more recently, whether their use of copyrighted material is legal or ethical.
Srinivas certainly has an opinion on this: Prior to co-founding Perplexity, he was a researcher at Google DeepMind and OpenAI, and he can speak from both the technical and strategic sides about how this technology is going to upend the industry, and how Perplexity plans to come out on top.
We can’t wait to hear from Srinivas and other AI leaders on the AI stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2024 this year.
