A federal judge issued a landmark ruling<\/a> last year, saying that Google had become a monopolist in internet search. But in a hearing<\/a> that began last week to figure out how to fix the problem, the emphasis has frequently landed on a different technology, artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

In U.S. District Court in Washington last week, a Justice Department lawyer argued<\/a> that Google could use its search monopoly to become the dominant player in A.I. Google executives disclosed internal discussions about expanding the reach of Gemini, the company\u2019s A.I. chatbot. And executives at rival A.I. companies said that Google\u2019s power was an obstacle to their success.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the first substantial question posed to Google\u2019s chief executive, Sundar Pichai<\/a>, after he took the stand was also about A.I. Throughout his 90-minute testimony, the subject came up more than two dozen times.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s one of the most dynamic moments in the industry,\u201d said Mr. Pichai. \u201cI\u2019ve seen users\u2019 home screens with, like, seven to nine applications of chatbots which they are trying and playing and training with.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

An antitrust lawsuit about the past has effectively turned into a fight about the future, as the government and Google face off over proposed changes to the tech giant\u2019s business that could shift the course of the A.I. race<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For more than 20 years, Google\u2019s search engine dominated the way people got answers online. Now the federal court is in essence grappling with whether the Silicon Valley giant will dominate the next era of how people get information on the internet, as consumers turn to a new crop of A.I. chatbots to answer questions, find solutions to their problems and learn about the world.<\/p>\n
