Perplexity AI offers to merge with TikTok US to help avoid a potential U.S. ban.

Perplexity AI, an AI search engine startup, has submitted a bid to merge with TikTok US to help the app avoid a potential ban in the U.S. The proposal, made to TikTok's parent company ByteDance, would create a new entity combining Perplexity, TikTok US, and new partners, allowing ByteDance investors to retain their equity stakes. President-elect Trump has suggested he may give TikTok 90 more days to finalize a deal. The bid aims to integrate more video content into Perplexity AI's platform.
