"Google is bringing its Gemini AI to Chrome for US users, adding chatbot and research tools to the world's most popular browser. The company is also developing cursor-controlling "agentic" tools slated for future releases. The move comes just weeks after a Washington judge spared Google from a forced breakup in its search antitrust case, though the company was ordered to share search data with rivals to boost competition."
"Meanwhile, Google and PayPal have entered a multi-year partnership to build AI-powered shopping experiences. Under the deal, PayPal's solutions will be integrated across Google's products, while the company also works with Google Cloud to strengthen its infrastructure. Following on from Google's AI-related updates to search, these tools could force a third of Independent Publishers Alliance members to shut down within the next year as traffic is siphoned away from news sites, a board member has warned."
Google is adding Gemini AI to Chrome for US users, embedding chatbot and research tools and developing cursor-controlling "agentic" features for future releases. A Washington judge recently spared Google a forced breakup but ordered the company to share search data with rivals. Google and PayPal signed a multi-year partnership to build AI-powered shopping experiences, integrating PayPal solutions across Google products and collaborating with Google Cloud on infrastructure. AI-powered search features like AI Overview and AI Mode are reducing referrals to news sites, risking major revenue loss and potentially forcing many independent publishers to close. BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Paramount leaders rejected suggestions to merge.
