Google's Antitrust Legal Battles Expected to Last Years, Says CEO Sundar Pichai

Pichai downplays immediate business impact but acknowledges prolonged court struggles over digital ad and search monopolies.

Google is currently embroiled in two major antitrust trials brought by the US Justice Department, targeting its dominance in digital advertising and online search.
CEO Sundar Pichai stated that the legal disputes will likely take many years to resolve, citing a recent European Union case that took over four years.
Despite the ongoing legal issues, Pichai emphasized that the antitrust battles do not pose an immediate threat to Google's business operations.
The company plans to vigorously defend itself where it believes innovation for users is at risk, while also seeking constructive solutions where possible.
Pichai announced a new $120 million Global AI Opportunity Fund aimed at expanding AI education and training worldwide, reflecting Google's continued focus on innovation.
