"Judge Mehta wrote that while generative AI hasn't displaced Googling yet, AI startups could "end up being game changers." Tens of millions of people use GenAI chatbots, like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Anthropic's Claude, to gather information that they previously sought through internet search, Mehta wrote. Earlier in August, OpenAI revealed that ChatGPT is set to hit 700 million weekly active users, up from 500 million in March. The app for Google's answer to ChatGPT, Gemini, had 450 million monthly active users,"
"Google's CEO Sundar Pichai said in July. Mehta also mentioned the AI investment boom spurred by ChatGPT, which led to an "astonishing" rush of funding for AI startups whose products directly threaten traditional internet search. Those companies are in a "better position to compete with Google than any traditional search company has been in decades," Mehta wrote. Plus, they're moving quickly to monetize their queries."
A federal judge ruled that Google will not be broken up despite affirming that its search business is a monopoly. The judge cited the rise of generative AI, led by OpenAI's ChatGPT, as increasing competition in search and weakening the case for radical restructuring. Tens of millions of users now use GenAI chatbots such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Anthropic's Claude to gather information previously sought through internet search. ChatGPT reported 700 million weekly active users, and Google's Gemini reached 450 million monthly active users. An investment boom fueled an "astonishing" rush of funding for AI startups positioning them to compete with Google and monetize queries.
