Alphabet Inc.’s Google can keep its existing investments in artificial intelligence startups like Anthropic, but would be required to notify antitrust enforcers before investing in any more AI companies under a revised Justice Department proposal filed Friday in the agency’s landmark antitrust case over search.

The DOJ still seeks a court order requiring Google to sell off its Chrome browser and take other measures aimed at addressing what a judge said was Google's illegal search monopoly, according to court papers filed in Washington.

As part of the remedies phase of its antitrust case against Google, the DOJ says prohibiting Google’s AI investments could 'cause unintended consequences in the evolving AI space.'
