Will Google's Search Market Breakup? Quoted by Outlook Business
From Abhivardhan, our Chairperson
I was recently quoted by Outlook Business about OpenAI's attempt to enter into the search market, led by Google, considering the US Government prosecutors' harsh yet reasonable stance to divide the monopoly that Google has in the search segment, to its rivals (read the article: https://www.outlookbusiness.com/explainers/openai-versus-google-battle-for-search-engine-supremacy-takes-the-limelight).
That reminds me of DuckDuckGo's stance on breaking up Google Search market segment in a matter heard / to be heard in the European Union.
Even Perplexity is attempting its best to enter into search market in the internet.
However, we have to be mindful of the fact that Generative AI LLMs can surely put us at the risk of exhausting the consumption of as much original public data that we have in the internet right now.
Monosemanticity is something even Anthropic has been dedicatedly working on (my report on this: https://www.indicpacific.com/post/new-report-the-legal-and-ethical-implications-of-monosemanticity-in-llms-iplr-ig-008)
Now, from an Indian and Global South perspective, I think that the break-up of Google's search market is quite necessary, and Google's arguments on cybersecurity risks, are bogus. If we have to rewind certain aspects of the internet from an infrastructure PoV, we need to be wary of that. However, it is possible, and must be achieved with better protocols of engagement. Dr. Jeffrey Funk and Dr Chiranjiv Roy, PhD (AI/ML), MBA (Analytics) may highlight better on this than me.
Let's see how this unfolds in the US District Court.
