The lawyers of the Department of Justice warned that Google’s search domain is spilling in the career of AI that threatens to crush the rivals as the remedy phase of the historical antimonopoly case against the technological giant on Monday.
Google is already leveraging artificial intelligence as a “method to access the search” and will continue to do so without government intervention, said justice lawyer David Dahlquist during the opening statements in a Washington court, DC.
“The remedy of this court must be prospective and not ignore what is on the horizon,” said Dahlquist, who said the government would call OpenAi witnesses and perplexity to assess how Google’s domain has a race.
The United States District Judge is listening to the case, Amit Mehta, who will determine the appropriate remedies after ruling last August that Losco Pichai led Google is a “monopoly” that illegally dominates the online search marketet.
The Department of Justice has asked Mehta to force Google to sell his Chrome web browser. The federals also said that Google should have to end their tactics of companies that pay as Apple and AT&T to ensure that their search engine is enabled by default on most smartphones.
In addition, the federals seek a court requirement that Google shares their search data with rivals. They have also pressed for a forced divestment of the Google Android operating system if the initial remedies ordered by the Court are ineffective after five years.
Google Parent Alphabet shares fell 3% in mid -midday negotiation in the middle of a general sale.
Google said that the judge’s final decision will appeal in the case once the resources are decided.
The company affirms that a forced mass sale of Chrome and Android “would break these platforms”, put at risk the national security of the United States and allow China to overcome the United States in the race to develop AI and other key technologies.
“When it comes to antitrust remedies, the United States Supreme Court has said that” caution is key, “said Google regulatory issues, Lee-Anne said in a blog post before trial. We hope to present our case in court.”
According to reports, Google officials had He pressed Trump’s Department of Justice to relax in his proposition remedies In the week prior to trial.
Closing statements are scheduled by the end of May. Mehta’s final decision on how to fix Google monopoly on the search is expected in August.
The search case of the Department of Justice was initially taken to 2020 turning President Trump’s first mandate. He gets used to trial in 2023 under President Joe Biden.
In a speech outside the court on Monday, the antimonopoolio chief of the Department of Justice, Gail Slater, said that Google’s case “has unified our nation” and confirmed “a bipartisan consensus that a strong anti -monium application against the great technology is needed.”
Slater also rejected Google’s argument that a break would somehow threaten the national security of the United States.
“Do you know what is dangerous? The threat that Google presents to our freedom of expression, to our freedom of thought, to the free US digital markets. You know what is irresponsible? Leave the abuse of Google monopoly without addressing,” Slater said.
The remedy phase of the DAJ search case began only a few days after Google suffered a great defeat in a separate federal antitrust demand aimed at its digital advertising business.
A federal judge ruled that Google It operates two separate illegal monopolies about digital advertising technology. The Department of Justice is also looking for a rupture of the company in that case.
