(The Guardian) US clears way for antitrust inquiries of Nvidia, Microsoft and OpenAI
Some of the biggest players in the artificial intelligence field are facing the prospect of an antitrust investigation.

US regulators have cleared the way for antitrust inquiries into Nvidia, Microsoft and OpenAI, according to reports this morning, as they intensify their scrutiny of AI.

The New York Times reports that the US Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission have reached a deal to split responsibility for investigating the three major players in AI. Once completed, probably in the coming days, the deal will mean the DoJ will take the lead investigating Nvidia, whose chips are driving the AI revolution, and whose market capitalisation hit $3trn last night.

This leaves the FTC with the task of examining OpenAI, maker of the ChatGPT chatbot, which has received billions of dollars of investment and support from Microsoft, which owns 49% of its shares.

Nvidia, OpenAI and Microsoft are in the spotligh due to concerns over their dominance of the AI space, and worries that. artificial intelligence will cost millions of jobs, and that safety oversight within the industry is weak.
