NVIDIA, Microsoft, and OpenAI Face Potential Investigation | The Gestalt IT Rundown: June 12, 2024

Gestalt IT Rundown

The US Justice Department and FCC have announced an agreement that gives them each a role to play in potential antitrust investigations against the biggest players in the AI market. Nvidia, Microsoft, and OpenAI were named in the agreement specifically according to insider reports. This follows reports that antitrust investigators have big concerns about AI and how companies developing it get their data to train the models. This agreement is modeled on a similar one from 2019 that eventually saw lawsuits brought against Meta, Amazon, and Google for antitrust violations. Back in January the US FTC had asked many companies to provide investment information as well as partnerships with generative AI companies.
