WASHINGTON, May 30 (Reuters) - Alphabet's Google

and U.S. antitrust enforcers will make their final

arguments on whether the tech giant should be forced to sell its

Chrome browser or adopt other measures to restore competition in

online search, as the blockbuster antitrust trial concludes on

Friday.

The U.S. Department of Justice and a coalition of states are

pressing to make Google not only sell Chrome, but also share

search data and cease multibillion-dollar payments to Apple ( AAPL )

and other smartphone makers and wireless carriers that

set Google as the default search engine on new devices.

The proposals aim to restore competition after a judge found

last year that Google illegally dominates the online search and

related advertising markets. Artificial intelligence companies

could get a boost after already rattling Google's status as the

go-to tool to find information online.

U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta is overseeing the trial,

which began in April. He has said he aims to rule on the

proposals by August.

If the judge does require Google to sell off Chrome, OpenAI

would be interested in buying it, Nick Turley, OpenAI's product

head for ChatGPT, said at the trial.

OpenAI would also benefit from access to Google's search

data, which would help it make responses to user inquiries more

accurate and up to date, Turley said.

Google says the proposals go far beyond what is legally

justified by the court's ruling, and would give away its

technology to competitors. The company has already begun

loosening agreements with smartphone makers including Samsung

Electronics ( SSNLF ) to allow them to load rival search and

AI products.

The DOJ wants the judge to go farther, banning Google from

making lucrative payments in exchange for installation of its

search app.
