BRUSSELS – EU antitrust regulators will seek additional third-party views on Microsoft’s (NASDAQ: MSFT) partnership with OpenAI and Google’s artificial intelligence deal with Samsung for Samsung devices, EU competition chief Margrethe Vestager said on Friday.
Vestager had in March sent questionnaires to Microsoft, Google, Meta’s Facebook, and ByteDance’s TikTok as well as other big tech companies related to their AI partnerships.
“We have reviewed the replies, and are now sending a follow-up request for information on the agreement between Microsoft and OpenAI. To understand whether certain exclusivity clauses could hurt competitors,” she told a conference.
