Perplexity Chief Business Officer Dmitry Shevelenko testified in the Justice Department’s remedies trial against Google’s search monopoly.
Perplexity Chief Business Officer Dmitry Shevelenko said he didn’t want to testify in a trial about how to resolve Google’s search monopoly because he feared retribution from Google. But after being subpoenaed to appear in court, he seized the moment to pitch a business opportunity for his AI company: buying Chrome.
In talks with one company whose name was hidden from the public, Shevelenko said the discussion kept “hitting a wall because they were fearful of losing Google revenue share or Google agreements.” As it stands, Shevelenko testified, companies under contract with Google essentially have a “gun to head” because Google can turn off significant revenue share if they do something Google dislikes.
