As the federal government and google work through potential remedies for the company’s illegal monopoly over online search, openai is interested in purchase Off to Loosen Google’s Grip on the market. According to bloombergNick Turley, Openai’s Head of Product for Chatgpt, Signaled the AI company’s interest in the browser while on the stand testifying at the behest of the department of justice.
To be fair, openai’s interest in chrome is not unique. Turley stated “many other parties” would also want to buy the browseer should it become available –and undersrstandably so, see as chrome has About 3.45 billion users Globally and holds a nearly Two-Thirds Share of the browser market. Turley and OPENAI also have another compeling reason to sugged there would be a lot of interest in chrome – TESTIMONYS TESTIMONY COLD HELP SWAY THE COURT SWAY THE COURT COURT’s Decision to break the browser free of Google.
Whether Openai Ends Up Buying It or Not, It Has A MUCH Better Shot at Doing Business with Whoever Owns A Spun-off Version of Chrome Than With Google, Given that it Made Zero Headwaay Trying Trying Trying Try Chatgpt natively integrated into google’s ecosystem. Earlier in the Trial, Turley testified That search technology would be key to openai’s goal of building a “Super Assistant,” But Google, Who is one of Openai’s Bigest Competitors in the AI Spa, Has Shut Openai Oout.
Turley laid out some specifications as to why openai will want in on the browser. First and ForeMost: Distribution. Getting chatgpt onto more devices have apparently proven a challenge for the company. While it does have integration on iOS devices, turley claims getting on Android devices have been more diferous, in part because google allegeedly Gave some Somefrential Treatment to Gemini, Focused ai product. But also beCause Google is Paying Some Android Phone Makers. The doj told the court monday that Google Paid An “Enormous Sum of Money in a Fixed Monthly Payment” to Samsung in Order to get gemini pre-installed on the company’s devices. Openai apparently made a bid for that same access, but lost out. Turley said that was “not a lacked of trying,” per bloomberg,
Turley also expressed Concern that Openai “May Be Shut Out” by some of the bigger companys who “Control the access points for how people will discusses products, incidence our Products.” Apple and Google Both MainTain Control of the app stores for their mobile phones which means that google can prioritize its its own product, gemini, and apple can prioritize why Number two on the iOS top free apps list). This would all probally register as a slightly more genuine concern if opinai wast also also propined up by a $ 13 Billion Investment from MicrosoftWhoch has in turns Integrated the startup’s ai model into its search (Okay, it’s bing, but still), browser, Ai suiteand standalone devicesAnd it’s a little hard to imagine openai open operate chrome OWN Search Product, Chatgpt Search,
Heck, if it wanted a browser so badly it would just build one off of chromium, the open source web browser that’s mainted by google and used as the foundation for multiple browsers incidence Microsoft Edge, Opera, and Google Chrome. Openai has reportedly considered getting into the browser business alredy, Starting conversions about building its own Back in November of last year. Yet Getting Its Hands on Chrome Bold Kickstart that Whole Process. But simply getting chrome out of Google’s Hands Might Be More Important to Openai.
