Alert, Startups! 🚨 The Founder of Perplexity Warns: "Your Innovation Will Be Copied"
Aravind Srinivas, CEO of Perplexity, has a strong message for AI entrepreneurs: prepare for tech giants to copy your advancements. At Y Combinator's AI Startup School, Srinivas emphasized that once a startup gains traction, large companies with "deep pockets" will not hesitate to replicate those promising ideas.
Why is this warning key for the future of AI?
* Innovation in the crosshairs: Perplexity pioneered an unrestricted web crawling chatbot. What was the result? OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google quickly incorporated similar functionalities.
* The "Browser War III": The launch of Perplexity's Comet browser, coinciding with rumors of a rival browser from OpenAI, ignites a new battle. Perplexity warns that the monopolistic tactics of "everything companies" could harm users.
* Talent at stake: The competition for AI talent is fierce. Meta, for example, is offering bonuses of up to $100 million to attract top experts from its rivals, demonstrating that copying is not only about products but also about human capital.
Srinivas made it clear: if your company can generate significant revenue, assume that a model company will copy it. The battle for innovation in AI is real, and small players must be prepared.
