In a notable turn of events during the US v. Google trial, OpenAI indicated interest in acquiring Google's Chrome if the browser is mandated to be sold. This comes after a ruling by Judge Amit Mehta designating Google as a monopolist in online search. OpenAI's exec Nick Turley testified that the company sought a partnership with Google for leveraging its search technology but was turned down. While OpenAI has been developing its own search capabilities, Turley acknowledged significant challenges in achieving their ambitious goals for reliance on their search index by 2025.
If Google is compelled to divest Chrome, it could lead to OpenAI acquiring the browser, enhancing its AI's access to web technologies, crucial for improved data.
Turley emphasized that OpenAI's dialogue with Google last year reflected a desire for collaboration, proposing that access to Google's search API could greatly improve ChatGPT.
