OpenAI offers to buy Chrome search engine if U.S. forces Google to sell it

   OpenAI offered on Tuesday to buy Chrome if the court rules in favor of the U.S. government and forces the giant Google to sell its browser so that there is more competition in the online search engine market.

"We would be interested (in buying Chrome). Just like many others," said Nick Turley, head of product for ChatGPT, one of the commercial successes developed by OpenAI, during a hearing held in the District Court of Columbia, according to several local media.

  Turley appeared in court to explain a failed attempt to partner with Google's technology for its artificial intelligence that the giant declined last summer.

Google does not want to sell Chrome, in fact, it plans to appeal the final ruling.

"At trial, we will demonstrate how the Justice Department's unprecedented proposals go far beyond the Court's decision and would harm consumers, the economy and America's technology leadership," Anne Mulholland, Google's vice president of regulatory affairs, said in a statement.

  ChatGPT uses Bing and Microsoft's search engine technology and seeks to grow by offering Google's content in its results.

The head of AI product agreed with sharing the giant's search data, because in his opinion, it could improve the competition to improve these servers.

  The outcome of the trial, which is expected to last about three weeks in the U.S. District Court in Washington, could transform the current ecosystem of the internet and even that of artificial intelligence (AI), a technology for which the great titans of technology, including Google, are fighting for the vanguard.

Last summer, U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta, who is also handling the case, issued a ruling accusing the company of acting like "a monopolist."

For her part, Deputy Attorney General Gail Slater said in a statement that it was a case that had "unified the nation."

"Today's giant is Google. It is a guardian of our trade and our information. It is so ubiquitous and powerful that it interacts with millions of Americans, billions of times a day," he added.

Google is not the only technology company that is facing the Department of Justice, as it has also sued Apple, arguing that the company with the bitten apple makes it difficult for consumers to abandon their devices and software.

In the same vein, the Federal Trade Commission has sued Amazon, accusing the company of pressuring small e-commerce businesses; as well as Meta, for eliminating its rivals by buying Instagram and WhatsApp.

The trial against Meta began in the U.S. capital last week.
