Alphabet, Meta Face Antitrust Actions Amid AI Growth

Alphabet, the parent company of Google and DeepMind, remains a dominant force in AI despite recent stock declines and ongoing antitrust litigation. The company is heavily investing in artificial intelligence, notably with its Gemini large language models and AI-driven enhancements to Google Search, countering competition from rivals like OpenAI. Alphabet’s core businesses, especially its search engine with a 90% market share, continue to generate substantial revenue, and its advancements in AI are seen as critical to future growth. Although legal battles with U.S. regulators have created uncertainty and impacted share prices, some analysts view this as a potential buying opportunity. The antitrust cases could result in significant changes, such as divestitures, but Alphabet’s scale and innovation position it as a long-term leader in the tech sector.
