In a landmark antitrust case, the U.S. Department of Justice has proposed that Google must sell any stakes in AI companies with technology that could compete in search, and divest within six months of a final judgment from the court. This could mean forcing Google to sell off its investment in Anthropic. The DOJ also proposed that Google should give all publishers and content creators a simple way to opt out of having their content used to train Google's AI models.
Key takeaways:
- President-elect Donald Trump is considering appointing an “AI czar” to lead efforts in artificial intelligence policy and the government’s use of the technology.
- Uber is entering a new market of training artificial intelligence with a new division called Scaled Solutions.
- Amazon is investing another $4 billion into Anthropic, bringing its total investment to $8 billion.
- The U.S. Department of Justice has proposed that Google must sell any stakes in AI companies with technology that could compete in search, potentially forcing Google to sell off its investment in Anthropic.
