Antitrust Probes Coming for Big AI
The Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) are investigating Microsoft, Nvidia, and OpenAI for antitrust concerns in AI.
Microsoft partnered with OpenAI, investing $13 billion in its AI technology for Bing, Edge, and Windows. Nvidia controls 80% of the AI chip market and is under scrutiny for its dominance.
Regulators worry that AI's need for massive data and computing power benefits dominant firms disproportionately.
Microsoft's $650 million deal with Inflection AI also faces scrutiny, questioning if it bypasses merger laws.
