Anthropic Says DOJ Plan Would Harm AI Investment
- The US Federal Trade Commission has supported a Justice Department proposal for Google to share search data with competitors, while Anthropic, a Google partner, criticized another aspect of the plan, stating it would harm AI investment.
- Various organizations, experts, and interest groups have been advocating for and against the Justice Department's proposals as a Washington court nears the conclusion of Google’s antitrust trial's remedy phase, initiated after a federal judge found Google guilty of maintaining an illegal monopoly in its core search business.
- The FTC believes the DOJ's plan includes privacy safeguards and suggested that increased competition resulting from the plan would prompt Google to enhance its privacy protocols. However, Google CEO Sundar Pichai argued against the proposal, voicing concerns about intellectual property and user privacy.
- AI startup Anthropic, a significant Google partner, expressed concerns about a provision requiring Google to notify the DOJ about AI investments, stating that it would discourage Google from investing in smaller AI companies.
