Despite voicing concerns about Google's practices, Shevelenko emphasized the need for remedies that do not hinder the company's innovation capabilities.

Experts warn that collaborations between tech giants and AI could lead to monopolistic behaviors unless effectively regulated.

OpenAI has shown interest in acquiring Google's web browser Chrome, particularly if Google is forced to sell it due to an ongoing antitrust trial.

This trial, which is expected to last three weeks, is being closely monitored by other tech giants like Meta, Amazon, and Apple, all of which are facing their own legal challenges.

The legal actions against Google are based on the Sherman Antitrust Act, which aims to promote competition in the marketplace.

Turley, who testified in Washington D.C., expressed concerns that major companies like Google and Apple control access points for product discovery, potentially limiting OpenAI's visibility.

He warned that Google's dominance might restrict OpenAI's access to vital distribution channels, impacting user discovery of AI products.

The outcome of this trial could redefine how users navigate the internet and interact with AI, raising significant questions about privacy and competition.

Google argues that its AI initiatives are unrelated to the current case, which primarily focuses on search engines, and claims that proposed remedies could stifle American innovation.

Currently, Google maintains over 89% of the global search market share, a slight decrease from 91% last summer, highlighting its continued dominance.

If OpenAI successfully acquires Chrome, it could transform from an application-based service into a core intelligence layer of users' digital experiences.

As generative AI assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity AI enhance their capabilities, they are increasingly competing directly with Google Search.
