On November 4, Lazard Board Director and Perplexity Chief Business Officer Dmitry Shevelenko joined Bloomberg’s “Odd Lots” podcast with Joe Weisenthal and Tracy Alloway for a live conversation at Lazard’s annual Foursquare Conference, which brings together leaders from across sports, media, and entertainment.

Dmitry discussed Perplexity’s vision for reshaping the internet through the combination of search and artificial intelligence, and how this approach is influencing the future of news in an AI-driven world. He addressed the challenges facing traditional news organizations as AI enables users to access information instantly, without visiting publisher websites, and explored how technology companies and media outlets can work together to sustain quality journalism.

Other topics included the competitive landscape for AI platforms, emerging dynamics with major technology companies, and the broader economic environment for high-growth AI startups.
