The U.S. Department of Justice's antitrust trial against Google, which began in mid-September, is nearing its conclusion with closing arguments scheduled for May 2nd. The trial, presided over by U.S. District Court Judge Amit P. Mehta in Washington D.C., focuses on allegations that Google has monopolized the search engine market, thereby stifling competition and innovation. This landmark case, reminiscent of the federal government's lawsuit against Microsoft in the 1990s, could set significant precedents for future antitrust actions against major tech companies. The DOJ argues that Google has illegally abused its power to favor its bottom line. The outcome of the trial could have profound implications for Google's market position, especially concerning vulnerabilities and advancements in generative AI technologies. Additionally, the trial includes a deposition related to Google's Project Jedi Blue deal with Meta.
