Aravind Srinivas, CEO of Perplexity AI, has publicly critiqued Google's Android operating system, claiming it is more focused on protecting ad revenue than enhancing AI functionalities. As competition intensifies, especially coming from Apple, who is considering acquiring Perplexity AI, Srinivas's remarks highlight a critical moment for Google. The tech giant is under pressure, with its dependence on lucrative search ads being challenged, and Srinivas suggests that this marks Google's first significant vulnerability in decades.
"Android needs to be rebuilt for AI. It's currently optimized for preserving Google's ad business rather than a truly agentic OS," Srinivas wrote on X, targeting the tech giant's mobile strategy amid intensifying AI competition.
This is the first time in two decades that Google is extremely vulnerable, describing the company as trapped by its own success.
