U.S. DOJ Drops Bid to Force Google's AI Divestments in Antitrust Case

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has withdrawn its proposal requiring Google to divest its artificial intelligence (AI) investments, including stakes in companies like Anthropic, as part of its ongoing antitrust case. However, the DOJ continues to advocate for significant measures to address Google's monopolistic practices, such as the sale of its Chrome browser. The DOJ argues that these actions are necessary to restore consumer choice in the market, allowing new competitors to emerge.
