OpenAI signals interest in Google Chrome buyout
Briefly

OpenAI's head of product, Nick Turley, indicated potential interest in acquiring Google's Chrome browser to enhance the capabilities of ChatGPT, amid ongoing antitrust proceedings against Google. During a trial, Turley testified that OpenAI had sought to leverage Google's search technology to improve its platform due to issues with its current provider, Microsoft Bing. Despite Google's current monopoly ruling, OpenAI's interest highlights the competitive landscape of online search and AI. The trial underscores the urgency for remedies to promote competition in the search market, with acquisition speculations intensifying.
OpenAI would consider purchasing Chrome if it became available, pointing to its potential value in boosting ChatGPT's performance.
Integrating "multiple partners", specifically Google's search API, would "enable us to provide a better product to users".
