Sundar Pichai , Google ’s CEO, took the stand on Wednesday during the remedies phase of the search antitrust trial.

He said the government's plan to let competitors reverse engineer Google 's search engine would be a disaster.

Google has spent billions of dollars on prime placement and default status, has used its Chrome browser to further entrench itself.

Google CEO Pichai says AI chatbots are not a zero -sum battle between search engines and chatbots.

He says Google should be allowed to continue paying for placement, as long as its deals are not exclusive.

Google has already begun changing its deals to that effect, including with Apple .
