Google's financial arrangements with Samsung to pre-install its AI app, Gemini, are now under scrutiny as part of a broader antitrust case against the company. Testimony given in court reveals that Google started these payments in January, and the current contract is set to last at least two years. The payments include a significant fixed monthly rate and a share of advertising revenue generated by Gemini. This structure has raised concerns regarding Google's potential monopoly abuse, which is central to the antitrust proceedings.
"Google provides Samsung with both fixed monthly payments and a percentage of revenue earned from advertisers within the Gemini app, as part of their contract."
"DOJ lawyer David Dahlquist called it an 'enormous sum of money in a fixed monthly payment' that Google is paying Samsung for the pre-installed Gemini app."
