OpenAI would buy Google's Chrome, exec testifies at trial
Briefly

During Google's antitrust trial, OpenAI's product chief stated interest in acquiring Chrome if the DOJ's measures compel a sale to restore competition. OpenAI had approached Google to utilize its search technology for ChatGPT but was denied, indicating Google's refusal was due to competitive restraints. Turley emphasized that a competitive search landscape is vital for AI improvement, as ChatGPT currently relies on Bing for search capabilities, lacking the integration to efficiently answer user queries.
OpenAI's need for Google’s search technology highlights the importance of competition in AI development. A monopoly in search limits innovation and user choice.
By maintaining its search monopoly, Google may hinder the ability of AI products, like ChatGPT, to evolve and provide timely, factual answers to users.
