The largest software company in the world Microsofthas been paying attention to artificial intelligence for a long time, and although most people have never heard of it, Invests $13 Billion in OpenAI is one of the key indicators of this. As part of this strategic partnership, OpenAI’s artificial intelligence tools and models will be integrated into Microsoft’s services, while Microsoft will also act as OpenAI’s cloud service provider.

This partnership has even been interpreted by those not so familiar with the industry as “Microsoft owns OpenAI,” but Microsoft seems to want to change this perception. Microsoft, which recently filed a new filing with the SEC, stated in the documents it sent: He called OpenAI a “competitor.” Of course, other companies developing their own language models, such as Anthropic, Amazon and Meta, were also among the competitors.

Microsoft may be trying to avoid antitrust investigations by calling OpenAI a ‘competitor’

Why is Microsoft calling OpenAI, the name behind core artificial intelligence features and in which it has invested billions of dollars, a “rival”? Is there a divide between Microsoft and OpenAI? It may be fun to write about the chaos of billion-dollar deals collapsing, but there is more to Microsoft’s reference to OpenAI as a “competitor.” a strategic thought there is.

The FTC is investigating tech giants’ investments in artificial intelligence and cloud technologies. The goal, of course, is to prevent potential monopolization. The world’s largest software company, the most talked about company in artificial intelligence is called “owner”, As for concerns about monopolization, eyes are on the partnership between Microsoft and OpenAI. Presumably, Microsoft is trying to avoid potential sanctions by portraying OpenAI as a competitor.

In the technology world, however, ‘partner’ and ‘competitor’ are not opposites. in the smartphone world Samsung and Apple, the two biggest competitors, are also the two biggest partners. can be used as an example of this. We will see in the near future how this strategic partnership between OpenAI and Microsoft is evaluated by the FTC and SEC.
