President Trump and his predecessor Joe Biden are now largely involved in an important question that has the potential to redesign the Tech world: Google should be dissolved.
However, there is an important difference that was made in a registration last Friday: Trump’s Ministry of Justice wants to keep Google (Googs, Googl) in artificial intelligence. In particular, it has an anthropic participation in Openai rivals worth billions.
The request of the Biden administration to force Google to sell its AI bets was “significant” and “very fair,” said Mark McCareins, professor of commercial law at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
It may be an indication that the government fears that the AI progress in the global breed with China, “added David Olson, Associate Law Professor at Boston College Law School.
The Googles stock of Google’s overriding alphabet fell by more than 4%on Monday, since other Tech shares also sold in macroeconomic concerns.

The final decision about what happens to Google’s 2 -Billion -Dollar -Imperium will be in the hands of the federal judge Amit Mehta, which last August decided that Google illegally online markets for “general search” and “general search text” monopolized.
No matter what Mehta decides, Google is expected to make an appointment, and the doj can do it too. Listeners that decide on legal remedies in this case are planned for April and May.
The final remedial measures by the government and Google were due to the judge on Friday, who gave a DOJ a last chance to change the proposal for the former bidue era to change the judge that Google is separated with the forced sale of the Chrome browser from Google or the quota sale of its Android operating system.
This did not do this, even though it was used by the company to rethink the Chrome proposal to national security concerns.
“Google has to sell the Chrome browser – an important search access point,” said the Doj in its final proposal on Friday.
It was argued that under another owner would have new competitors the opportunity to “score an important goal to freely search the Internet, free of Google’s monopoly control.”
They also kept part of an inquiry to leave the door open for a possible sale of the Android operating system from Google.
But the prosecutors dropped the bido Doj’s push to google to sell out its AI bets, and instead suggested a setup in which the federal authorities could keep an eye on the proposed AI investments that could threaten the search competition.

Anthropic has argued to the judge that Google would forces Google to give up its share that would tilt the AI playing field in favor of Openai and his supporter Microsoft (MSFT).
“The plaintiffs no longer apply for the mandatory sale of Google’s AI investments,” said the Doj on Friday in his revised proposal.
Derek Mountford, a shareholder in Gunsters Business Litigation Practice Group, who specializes in antitrust disputes, said, while the Trump government’s AI rollback is a concession, it happens with a hook.
“You ask for some reporting requirements that are attached to it,” he said.
“I think one of the [antitrust] Topics that you could see in a second Trump management is even if you decrease some of the proposed sanctions. There is still this element of control, monitoring and enforcement, which takes place in the background. “
The excitement for the Trump administration, CEO of Chamber of Progress, said Adam Kovacevich last week that in an existential fight with China, she is involved in the future of AI and Google can still be an important weapon for the USA.
“What will we do, Hobble of one of our most important US runners in this race by breaking this company?” Asked Kovacevich, who previously headed Google’s US US guideline strategy and external affairs.
“It seems bad to see that.”
The DOJ stayed with another expected middle proposal, which in this case affects a major argument.
The judge asked the judge to block Google from contracts that ensure that his search engine as the standard for dozens of devices connected on the Internet such as mobile phones (AAPL), Samsung and other and other browsers, including Apple Safari and Mozilla.
These are not good news for Apple that endanger a large sources of income. In 2021, Google paid 26 billion US dollars for the standard search internships, and the lion’s share went to Apple.
The analysts of Bernstein estimated the turnover of Apple from Google Search failures, between 18 and 20 billion US dollars a year.

Google countered the DOJ’s request on Friday by asking that it continues to conclude contracts to make Google search a standard -as long as there is no search licensing based on device manufacturers who also agree to distribute, indicate, show or licensed its AI -Gemini assistant application.
McCareins, the legal professor of Northwestern, said that the doj had little to lose at this point by adhering to the sale of the chrome as a negotiation chip, since both the underlying case and the judge’s decision were lodged.
“Only from a negotiating position, at this point in time, I am not shocked or stunned that the new sheriffs in the city have continued to argue for the sale of Chrome,” said McCareins.
