OpenAI wants to grab Google Chrome after regulators beat Google in court. The Justice Department proved Google cheated with search monopoly powers. Court hearings started Monday about how hard to punish Google. OpenAI product leader Nick Turley told the court his company would buy Chrome if judges made Google sell it off.
The government thinks splitting off Chrome might weaken Google's search power. OpenAI claimed Google hurt them last year. Google refused to share search data needed for SearchGPT. Regulators might force Google to open its search treasure chest to rivals. They could also stop Google from paying Apple to stay the default search engine on iPhones.
If OpenAI managed to buy Chrome, tech industry power would shift dramatically. Google plans to fight the court ruling through appeals. The final punishment remains undecided. Turley said real-time search data access would help OpenAI grow faster. Google faces serious trouble with its main business model.
