Apple 正考慮收購 Perplexity？也可能將該 AI 搜尋引擎直接整合到 Siri 中
據彭博社報導，Apple 目前正在考慮收購 AI 搜尋引擎初創公司 Perplexity。據稱公司併購負責人 Adrian Perica 已經與服務高級副總裁 Eddy Cure 及其他高層決策者討論了這一想法，但此事目前尚處於早期階段，Apple 並未發出任何要約。除了潛在的收購外，Apple 內部也有探討直接開發由 Perplexity 驅動的引擎方案，並將其整合到 Siri 當中的可能性。
此前在為 Google 的搜尋壟斷案出庭作證時，Eddy Cue 曾透露 Apple 有想過為 Safari 加入 Perplexity 的服務。如果監管方最終要求 Apple 終止與 Google 的預設服務合作關係，那 Perplexity 估計會成為熱門的候補之一。除此之外，若是 Apple 真的把 Perplexity 收入麾下，那吸納進來的 AI 人才也會為急需扭轉口碑的 Apple Intelligence 帶來不少幫助。

Oaktree Co-CEO Panossian Sees Signs of Exuberance in Data Center Boom
By and Francine Lacqua Save The amount of money chasing investments linked to artificial intelligence is creating the 'risk of excesses,' said Armen Panossian, co-Chief Executive Officer at Oaktree Capital Management LP. There are parallels with the fiber optic boom in the late 1990s and early 2000s when the weight of capital meant capacity began to be constructed without contracts with users in place, Panossian said in an interview with Bloomberg TV.

'AI is no longer optional': Microsoft is allegedly pressuring employees to use AI tools through manager evaluations
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. First reported by Business Insider, a purported internal memo from Julia Liuson, the Corporate Vice President of Microsoft's Developer Division, shows that managers are now being asked to evaluate employees based on their use of AI tools. An employee review metric for measuring AI use is reportedly under consideration according to Business Insider as well. Liuson's memo made her expectations here clear: "AI is now a fundamental part of how we work. Just like collaboration, data-driven thinking, and effective communication, using AI is no longer optional—it's core to every role and every level." To be fair, there's some logic to this decision—the people developing Microsoft's AI tools and services should probably be using them to get a better idea of the user experience. At the same time, it's hard not to read this as Microsoft resorting to the stick of employee reviews to get them to actually use these tools, which have struggled to gain adoption with everyday users and faced backlash over Copilot's controversial Recall feature, as well as the usual AI inaccuracies and "hallucinations." Recall uses AI to "remember" your activity on your computer by taking screenshots every few seconds so you can use Copilot to find websites or files you previously viewed. Microsoft had to backpedal on the feature when it was first announced due to an uproar over security concerns. While the company has attempted to address those concerns leading up to Recall's long-delayed beta release, the feature is still tarred with these associations, and I find it hard to trust Microsoft on its claims about Copilot's offline, airtight security. Even for people who already use AI on a regular basis, Copilot probably isn't their first choice. As of 2025, ChatGPT has some 400 million active users while Copilot only has 33 million. Windows users haven't warmed up much to Copilot, either—often calling it bloatware, with one user even saying, "The way that Microsoft is forcing AI in our PCs even though 90% of its users don't want AI is just annoying." Unfortunately for Microsoft, comments like this aren't uncommon, and a large part of the apathy toward Copilot is over frustration with how Microsoft has been installing it by default in Windows 11, making it seem like the AI is being forced on everyone. 2025 games: This year's upcoming releasesBest PC games: Our all-time favoritesFree PC games: Freebie festBest FPS games: Finest gunplayBest RPGs: Grand adventuresBest co-op games: Better together
