Openai will Buy Chrome if Google is forced to sell it, has declared the product manager of Chatgpt when testifying in the monopoly trial against the Internet giant.
Last Monday the final view began in the United States to determine responsibilities and actions against Google, after a previous trial where it was already convicted by Use your dominant position in Internet searches To relegate competition. It was the most complete antitrust cause that has been thrown against Google. And they have been a few, due to abuse of dominant position of their advertising services, searches or in the use of Android to favor their own products.
Now responsibilities must be determined and impose solutions so that this domain position does not remain in the future. The main body of the demand, the United States Department of Justice, believes that the only solution is to break Google and specifically that Chrome bandage immediately and completely, together with all the data or other assets necessary for its continuous operation.
The DOJ argues that the Chrome browser plays an important role in increasing the number of Google Search users when establishing it as the predetermined search engine, which would effectively block competition. The idea and request to the court is to take Google the Chrome user base (the most popular web browser in the market, used by almost 4,000 million people) and hand it over to a competitor. Who can buy it?
OpenAi will buy Chrome … if it is sold
Chrome is a candy that all technological giants. And, of course, in the AI era, the largest company in the sector is extremely interested. Nick Turley, Chatgpt product manager in Openai, openly declared in his passage to the judicial hearing that his company would present as a candidate for his purchase. They have long considered Openai Develop your own web browser Based on Chromium to compete with Chrome. The company hired the former Google developers, Ben Goodger and Darin Fisher, who worked to launch the browser to the market.
Chrome would instantly provide Openai to an huge user base, encouraged to use Google services. If Openai were in charge, Chatgpt would be integrated throughout the experience. This was assured by Turley, predicting an experience «First in AI». In addition, the billion and billion user data that would arrive at the Chrome owner would have An incalculable value for training models of insatiable artificial intelligence. The ultimate goal would be to create an autonomous agent that operated web browsers on behalf of the user.
¿Y chromium? She had a pint… We do not see Openai developing an open source browser version, nor that Google continued to do it for free and without incentives once lost Chrome. This would endanger the dozen developments that use it, some as important as Microsoft Edgeu Opera.
We will see the final judicial opinion. There is no doubt that a Google without Chrome could suppose A great change both for the world of technology and for the way we experience the Internet. Web browsers are one of the most used and important types of software in the world. They not only serve to navigate, but are the ones that move the searches market and with it the immense advertising tart of the Internet, as well as the purchases of electronic commerce.
