This is a partial answer. There exists an infinite group $G$ having no sequence of subsets $\{A_i\}$ such that $$ A_{n+1}A_{n+1}\subsetneq A_n, \quad\hbox{and}\quad \bigcap A_i=\{1\}. $$ (We omit the inverse condition but add the the intersection-triviality condition.)
Indeed, such a sequence defines a Hausdorff topology on the group where $A_i$ are neigbourhoods of $1$ and all other points are isolated. The multiplication is continuous at $(1,1)\in G\times G$ with respect to this topology. It remains to note that infinite locally non-topologizable groups do existexist.
