As the remedy phase of the Google monopoly anti -monopoly test, the OpenAi giant has become a potential buyer for Google Chrome browser, with plans to transform it into an AI center experience.
Ars Technica informs that the antitrust essay on the ongoing search against the Google remedy phase has reached a critical situation, and the Department of Justice seeks several sanctions to realine the company’s commercial practices after a monopoly was declared. Among the most severe proposed remedies is the forced potential sale of Google Chrome browser. As discussions around potential buyers arise, OpenAI has expressed a great interest in acquiring the browser.
Nick Turley, Chatgpt product manager at OpenAI, testified on the second day of the test, addressing not only the possible sale of Chrome but also the proposal of the Department of Justice to force Google to share their search index with the competitors. Turley revealed that Openai had previously approached Google to establish an association, hoping to access the company’s search API to improve Chatgpt capabilities. However, Google rejected the sacrifice, believing that it would endanger its domain in the search market.
When asked about Operai’s interest in acquiring Chrome, Turley was unequivocal in his response. “Yes, we would, like many other parts,” he said, highlighting the attractiveness of the browser to potential buyers. With about four billion users and a market share of 67 percent, Chrome presents a lucrative opportunity for companies that seek to expand their scope and influence in the digital panorama.
Operai’s interest in Chrome is aligned with his reported consultations to develop his own chromium -based browser to compete with Google’s sacrifices. The recent hiring of the company of the former developers of Google Ben Goodger and Darin Fisher, both fundamental to bring Chrome to the market, further underlines their ambitions in the navigator space.
Chrome’s acquisition would provide Openi with an instant and substantial user base, which allows the company to integrate its AI capabilities, such as Chatgpt, through navigation experience. Turley hinted at the potential of a navigation experience of “Ai-Five”, hepiating the fixed data of users flowing through the browser to train AI models of advanced agents capable or operating on behalf of the users.
While the perspective that Openai acquired Chrome has attracted significant attention, there is a leg relatively little discussion about the possibility of rejecting Chrome as an independent entity. Google has argued that Chrome cannot survive on its own, but the existence of multimillionaire search placement agreements, which the DOJ aims to finish, suggests otherwise.
