The USA opened an investigation against artificial intelligence giants OpenAI, Nvidia and Microsoft
The US Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission launched an investigation into technology giants OpenAI, Nvidia and Microsoft, three major players in the artificial intelligence industry.
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Trade Commission (#FTC ) agreed to share duties in investigating three major players in the artificial intelligence industry. Under the agreement, regulators will conduct antitrust investigations into the dominant roles that Microsoft, OpenAI and Nvidia play in the artificial intelligence industry.
According to reports, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) will investigate whether Nvidia, the largest manufacturer of artificial intelligence chips and with almost 80 percent market share in this field, violated antitrust laws. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will investigate Microsoft, which invested $13 billion in the company with OpenAI, which made a splash with #ChatGPT , Sora, Dall-E and the latest GPT-4o model.
The Biden administration continues to curb the power of big technology companies through regulatory agencies. After both institutions made a similar deal 5 years ago, they investigated Google, Apple, Amazon and Meta and sued them all for allegedly violating antitrust laws.
Nvidia, #Microsoft and #OpenAI were flying under the radar, but with the emergence of productive artificial intelligence in 2022, the view in this direction has also changed. Regulators have been trying to rein in companies in the artificial intelligence space lately. The FTC had launched an investigation into whether OpenAI harmed consumers through data collection. The FTC has also launched a broad investigation into strategic partnerships between tech giants and AI start-ups, including Microsoft's investment in #OpenAI and Google and Amazon's investments in Anthropic, another small AI company .
