  • An OpenAI executive has testified that the company would be interested in buying Chrome if Google were forced to sell it.
  • The executive claimed that this would enable an “AI-first” experience for users.
  • The testimony comes after the Department of Justice called on Google to sell Chrome.

Chrome is the world’s most popular web browser, but the Department of Justice is calling for Google to sell it. Now, at least one major tech company has revealed its interest in buying the browser.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT chief Nick Turley testified in court (via Bloomberg) that the AI company would be interested in buying Chrome if Google were ordered to sell it. He added that “many other parties” would also try to buy the web browser.
