FTC Expands Probe Into Microsoft AI Practices
The Federal Trade Commission is broadening its investigation into Microsoft’s practices in artificial intelligence and cloud computing, recently sending detailed questionnaires to rivals and industry participants. The probe examines licensing terms, data portability, and Microsoft’s bundling of OpenAI-powered models, noting Microsoft’s more than $13 billion investment in OpenAI and integration across Azure and Office. Regulators are assessing whether such practices foreclose competition in enterprise AI and cloud markets.
