Google Enhances Chrome Browser with AI Features Amid Rising Competition

Google is integrating its Gemini AI into the Chrome browser for users in the U.S. on Mac, Windows, and mobile devices. The update aims to streamline tasks like webpage comprehension, tab management, and scheduling without leaving the browser.

The MOVE underscores browsers' pivotal role in the AI race, as they remain the primary gateway to online information. Google's dominance in this space previously drew antitrust scrutiny, but a recent court ruling allowed it to retain Chrome, citing generative AI's disruptive impact on competition.

Gemini now integrates with Google services like Calendar, YouTube, and Maps, further consolidating the browser as a hub for productivity. This strategic push reflects Google's response to rivals like OpenAI and Perplexity, though the article makes no direct mention of cryptocurrency markets or exchanges.
