Google Warns DOJ’s Antitrust Plan Could Undermine U.S. AI Edge In Race Against China

Google returned to court Monday to fight proposed antitrust remedies after a judge ruled in August that it illegally monopolized internet search, according to CNBC. The Department of Justice wants Google to divest its Chrome browser and open its search data to rivals. Google says the move would harm U.S. national security and innovation as competition with China intensifies. Google’s regulatory VP said the DOJ’s proposal would hamper AI development and place government regulators in control of product design. The trial will determine the consequences of the ruling.
