March 7 (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Justice on Friday dropped a proposal to force Alphabet's Google GOOGL.O to sell its investments in artificial intelligence companies, including OpenAI competitor Anthropic, to boost competition in online search.
The DOJ still seeks a court order requiring Google to sell off its Chrome browser and take other measures aimed at addressing what a judge said was Google's illegal search monopoly, according to court papers filed in Washington.
