New Search Engine to Be Released

Richard Socher, a former chief scientist at Salesforce, who helped build the Einstein AI platform, announced on Tuesday you.com, a new search engine that challenges Google.

Socher added: ''We are building you.com, which is a trusted search engine, and we want to work to increase trust in clicks and reduce fraudulent clicks on the Internet.'' Socher believes his AI background could help him build a consumer-focused research tool.

Meanwhile, You.com's homepage is short on details right now, but it appears that it will be a search engine that doesn't rely on advertising for funding and that it will give you greater control over the privacy of your search activity.

On other hand, Salesforce’s former chief scientist understands that it’s hard to compete with Google, but he thinks it can be possible to try by building something he thinks is completely different andIt’s difficult for Google to reproduce it without undermining its basic income model.

Also, he sees that Google has antitrust issues, and that could help create an opportunity to start such a business.
