Google avoids being dismantled after US court battle - and it's down to the rise of AI

A year ago, Google faced the prospect of being dismantled. Today, artificial intelligence (AI) and a new court judgment has helped it avoid this fate. Part of the reason is that AI poses a grave threat to Google's advertising revenues. "Google will not be required to divest Chrome; nor will the court include a contingent divestiture of the Android operating system in the final judgment," according to the decision.

Media Briefing: DOJ's Google search trial remedies fall flat for publishers

The verdict has felt anti-climactic for media and ad execs who had hoped for sweeping change, especially given the court had already ruled Google's search dominance a monopoly last August. Publishing execs hoped the remedies would separate Google's search engine crawler from its AI experiments - such as AI Overviews and AI Mode - or at least force them to provide more data on how those products are impacting publisher clickthroughs from search. That would've given publishers more control over where their content is showing up, and what it's used for.
