Judge weighs softer antitrust remedies for Google monopoly case
The new Google logo is seen in this illustration taken May 13, 2025. Photo:REUTERS Listen to article A federal judge in Washington suggested on Friday he is considering making Alphabet's Google take less aggressive measures to restore competition in online search than the 10-year regime proposed by antitrust enforcers. US District Judge Amit Mehta heard closing arguments on Friday at a trial on proposals to address Google's illegal monopoly in online search and related advertising. "Ten years may seem like a short period, but in this space, a lot can change in weeks," he said, citing recent developments such as ChatGPT maker OpenAI buying a device startup. The DOJ and a coalition of states want Google to share search data and cease multibillion-dollar payments to Apple and other smartphone makers to be the default search engine on new devices. At the hearing, the judge floated the possibility of limited data sharing and ending the payments only if other measures do not increase competition. He also grappled with the rise of artificial intelligence products that could replace traditional search engines. An alternate default search engine in Apple's Safari browser is unlikely to come from existing rival search engines like DuckDuckGo or Bing, the judge said. "If anything it's going to be one of these AI companies that can do more than just search. And why? Because maybe people don't want 10 blue links anymore," he said, referring to earlier iterations of Google's search engine. The case has already rattled Google's share price by exposing Apple's plans to offer AI-based search options. The trial began in April and Mehta has said he aims to rule by August. AI "Rivals"? Antitrust enforcers are concerned about how Google's search monopoly gives it an advantage in AI products like Gemini and vice versa. Nick Turley, OpenAI's product head for ChatGPT, testified that the ChatGPT creator is years away from its goal of being able to use its own search technology to answer 80% of queries and that having access to Google search data would help it focus on improving ChatGPT. Turley also said OpenAI would be interested in buying Chrome if Google is forced to sell it. But Mehta questioned whether companies like OpenAI or Perplexity should be considered Google competitors who would be given access to any data Google is required to share, given that the case focused on search engine competitors. "It seems to me you now want to kind of bring this other technology into the definition of general search engine markets that I am not sure quite fits," the judge said to DOJ attorney Adam Severt. Severt replied that while the first part of the case focused on the past, the remedies must be forward-looking. The academics conclude that many of the proposed remedies warrant significant reconsideration to better balance the goals of competition, innovation, & consumer welfare—and to safeguard US leadership in the technology sector. Read the full paper: — Trevor Wagener (@econwags) May 29, 2025 John Schmidtlein, an attorney for Google, said at the hearing that while generative AI is influencing how search looks, Google has addressed any concerns about competition in AI by no longer entering exclusive agreements with wireless carriers and smartphone makers including Samsung Electronics, leaving them free to load rival search and AI apps on new devices. Schmidtlein argued it would be inappropriate to give successful AI companies like OpenAI technology that Google has spent 20 years perfecting. "Coming to Google and asking Google for a handout when they are the market leader seems completely disproportionate to what this case is about," he said.

China's DeepSeek boosts AI competition with R1 model upgrade
Photo: New DeepSeek model raises pressure on OpenAI and xAI Listen to article Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek released an upgrade to its R1 reasoning model on Thursday, intensifying competition with US players such as OpenAI in the field of code generation. The new version, named R1-0528, was quietly launched on the developer platform Hugging Face without an official announcement or technical documentation. Despite the low-profile release, the model quickly gained attention after it appeared on the LiveCodeBench leaderboard — a benchmark developed by researchers at UC Berkeley, MIT and Cornell. The updated R1 ranked just behind OpenAI's o4 mini and o3 models but ahead of xAI's Grok 3 mini and Alibaba's Qwen 3 on code generation performance. DeepSeek representative described the release as a 'minor trial upgrade' in a private WeChat group, adding that users could begin testing the model immediately. DeepSeek first drew global attention in January when it launched its R1 model, which performed at a level comparable to leading US models while requiring significantly less computing power and cost. The launch sent shares of AI-related firms outside China tumbling and challenged the assumption that massive investment and infrastructure are essential for competitive AI scaling. In response, major players such as OpenAI and Google's Gemini have since adjusted their pricing and model offerings. OpenAI released the o3 mini, while Gemini introduced discounted access tiers. Chinese tech giants, including Alibaba ( and Tencent ( have also rolled out new models, with some claiming to outperform DeepSeek's R1. Industry observers continue to watch for the launch of R2, DeepSeek's anticipated successor to R1. It is reported that the company had initially targeted a May release for R2. In addition to its reasoning models, DeepSeek released an update to its V3 large language model in March.

AI personal shoppers hunt down bargain buys
NEW YORK: Internet giants are diving deeper into e-commerce with digital aides that know shoppers' likes, let them virtually try clothes on, hunt for deals and even place orders. The rise of virtual personal shoppers springs from generative artificial intelligence (AI) being put to work in 'agents' specializing in specific tasks and given autonomy to complete them independently. 'This is basically the next evolution of shopping experiences,' said CFRA Research analyst Angelo Zino. Google last week unveiled shopping features built into a new 'AI Mode'. It can take a person's own photo and meld it with that of a skirt, shirt or other piece of clothing spotted online, showing how it will look on them. The AI adjusts the clothing size to fit, accounting for how fabrics drape, according to Google head of advertising and commerce Vidhya Srinivasan. Shoppers can then set the price they would pay and leave the AI to relentlessly browse the internet for a deal – alerting the shopper when it finds one, and asking if it should buy using Google's payment platform. 'They're taking on Amazon a little bit,' Techsponential analyst Avi Greengart said of Google. The tool is also a way to make money from AI by increasing online traffic and opportunities to show ads, Greengart added. The Silicon Valley tech titan did not respond to a query regarding whether it is sharing in revenue from shopping transactions. Bartering bots? OpenAI added a shopping feature to ChatGPT earlier this year, enabling the chatbot to respond to requests with product suggestions, consumer reviews and links to merchant websites. Perplexity AI late last year began letting subscribers pay for online purchases without leaving its app. Amazon in April added a 'Buy for Me' mode to its Rufus digital assistant, allowing users to command it to make purchases at retailer websites off Amazon's platform. Walmart head of technology Hari Vasudev recently spoke about adding an AI agent to the retail behemoth's online shopping portal, while also working with partners to make sure their digital agents keep Walmart products in mind. Global payment networks Visa and Mastercard in April each said their technical systems were modernized to allow payment transactions by digital agents. 'As AI agents start to take over the bulk of product discovery and the decision-making process, retailers must consider how to optimize for this new layer of AI shoppers,' said Elise Watson of Clarkston Consulting. Retailers are likely to be left groping in the dark when it comes to what makes a product attractive to AI agents, according to Watson. Knowing the customer Analyst Zino does not expect AI shoppers to cause an e-commerce industry upheaval, but he does see the technology benefitting Google and Meta. Not only do the Internet rivals have massive amounts of data about their users, but they are also among frontrunners in the AI race. 'They probably have more information on the consumer than anyone else out there,' Zino said of Google and Meta. Tech company access to data about users hits the hot-button issue of online privacy and who should control personal information. Google plans to refine consumer profiles based on what people search for and promises that shoppers will need to authorize access to additional information such as email or app use. Trusting a chatbot with one's buying decisions may spook some people, and while the technology might be in place the legal and ethical framework for it is not. 'The agent economy is here,' said PSE Consulting managing director Chris Jones. 'The next phase of e-commerce will depend on whether we can trust machines to buy on our behalf.'
