The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is seeking to unwind Google's $2.1 billion acquisition of AI startup Anthropic as part of its ongoing antitrust case against the tech giant. This move is aimed at addressing concerns over Google's dominance in the online search market. The DOJ's request, if approved, would require Google to divest from its existing partnerships, potentially impacting its investment in Anthropic. This development comes amid mounting antitrust challenges faced by Google, which may lead to significant changes in its business operations.
