Federal prosecutors are pushing to prevent Google from using artificial intelligence to strengthen its dominance in search, raising concerns during an antitrust trial. The prosecution argues Google has created a feedback loop where its search engine bolsters AI products, further entrenching its market control. This trial builds upon prior rulings deeming Google's search monopoly illegal, while new evidence suggests Google is employing similar tactics in the AI sector as it has in search, likening current actions to past exclusive agreements with device manufacturers.
Now is the time to tell Google and all other monopolists who are out there listening, and they are listening, that there are consequences when you break the antitrust laws.
The Justice Department contended that this mirrors the exclusive agreements with device makers that Judge Mehta previously ruled helped Google maintain its search monopoly.
