Microsoft has removed its representative from the board of OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company behind ChatGPT, amid growing scrutiny from antitrust regulators over the tech giant’s rapidly expanding investments in AI. The move comes as Microsoft is pouring billions of dollars into OpenAI and other AI ventures in an arms race with Google and other big tech rivals to dominate what could be the next critical wave of computing. Microsoft’s exit from OpenAI’s board aims to avoid any perception of a conflict of interest as OpenAI’s products compete with Microsoft’s own AI offerings. However, the two companies will continue to collaborate closely on developing and commercializing AI technologies. Antitrust regulators have been taking a closer look at the AI industry amid concerns about the power concentrated among a few big tech companies.
