OpenAI exec signals interest in Chrome
Briefly

OpenAI's head of product, Nick Turley, expressed a keen interest in acquiring Google’s Chrome browser during a legal trial addressing the search giant's alleged anti-competitive behavior. Although Chrome holds a dominant market share of nearly 66%, the US Department of Justice has proposed its divestment as a remedy. Turley suggested that integrating OpenAI's ChatGPT into Chrome could transform user experiences by creating an AI-first browsing environment. He acknowledged the challenges in distributing ChatGPT on Android amidst competition with Google's Gemini AI.
"Yes, we would." Turley asserted OpenAI's interest in acquiring Chrome, underscoring their ambition to enhance AI integration in web browsing experiences.
Turley emphasized that deeper integration of ChatGPT into Chrome could provide users with an 'incredible experience,' showcasing an AI-first approach.
The US Department of Justice's potential remedies for Google's alleged monopolistic practices include selling Chrome and limiting payments for default search engine positioning.
Turley noted that while OpenAI made headway with iPhone integrations, Android distribution remains challenging due to Google's extensive resources.
