Cristiano Ronaldo invests in Perplexity AI
Ronaldo on Thursday released a statement on social media
Cristiano Ronaldo Thursday said that he has invested in Perplexity, an artificial-intelligence search startup.
In a statement shared on his social media accounts, the footballer said, "Curiosity is a requirement for greatness. You win when you keep asking new questions every day. That’s why I am proud to announce my investment in Perplexity."
"Perplexity is powering the world’s curiosity, and together we will inspire everyone to ask more ambitious questions," he said of the company.
The Portuguese has previously said he used Perplexity to prepare an acceptance speech at a recent awards ceremony, telling the audience he had turned to the platform when he struggled to decide what to say.
His comments drew wide attention on social media and sparked debate over the growing use of AI tools by celebrities and public figures.
Founded in 2022, Perplexity markets itself as an AI-driven search and answer engine that retrieves information from verified sources and produces concise summaries for users.
