Sam Altman Seeks to Acquire Google Chrome Amidst Antitrust Pressure

In a candid revelation, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has expressed interest in acquiring Google Chrome should the tech giant face antitrust challenges. Altman’s ambitious vision surfaced during an exclusive dinner with The Verge journalists. He discussed plans for massive infrastructure investments, including data centers, to support OpenAI’s rapid growth in AI applications. He even hinted at exploring the potential of a browser acquisition if the opportunity arises. This bold move comes as Google faces antitrust pressures that could potentially force the company to divest its Chrome browser. Altman’s remarks follow reports of Perplexity AI’s own unsolicited $34.5 billion bid for Google’s flagship browser, adding fuel to these speculation. OpenAI’s vision, if realized, would drastically alter the technological landscape and reshape both OpenAI’s future and the broader technology industry.
