The US Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission reportedly plan investigations into whether Nvidia, Microsoft, and OpenAI are hampering competition in artificial intelligence technology.
The New York Times reported that the Justice Department will focus on Nvidia, while the FTC will concentrate on Microsoft and OpenAI.
According to Ars Technica, one area of focus for the DOJ will be Nvidia’s dominance in the chip industry, particularly how the company’s software may lock customers into using its chips. Nvidia declined to comment on the matter.
In an interview with the Financial Times, Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Kanter highlighted that the DOJ is examining potential “monopoly choke points and the competitive landscape” within AI, ranging from computing power to essential hardware such as GPUs.
"Sometimes the most meaningful intervention is when the intervention is in real time," Kanter told the Financial Times. "The beauty of that is you can be less invasive."
