Microsoft has removed its representative from the board of OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company behind ChatGPT, amid growing scrutiny of the tech giant’s rapidly expanding investments in AI. The move comes as Microsoft faces antitrust scrutiny over its $1 billion investment in OpenAI and its plans to further integrate AI models like ChatGPT into its consumer and commercial software products. While Microsoft will no longer have a voting board seat, it will retain its financial stake in OpenAI and continue to collaborate on developing AI systems. The decision aims to address potential conflicts of interest and alleviate concerns about Microsoft’s influence over a major AI company. However, the move also highlights the increasing regulatory scrutiny surrounding the tech industry’s AI ambitions and the potential for anticompetitive behavior.
