Fast Technology News on June 10th: According to media reports, early last year, ChatGPT attracted the attention of countless netizens, quickly becoming a hot topic and igniting an industry-wide AI competition. This boom has also greatly promoted NVIDIA's revenue and share price, achieving explosive growth.
However, recently, US federal regulators have begun to shift their focus to the AI industry, planning to conduct antitrust investigations into the leading positions of Microsoft, NVIDIA, and OpenAI in this field. According to insiders, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) have reached an agreement last week.
It is understood that the US Department of Justice will specifically investigate whether NVIDIA's AI business touches the antitrust law red line, while the Federal Trade Commission will review the cooperation between Microsoft and OpenAI. The two departments will conduct in-depth investigations separately to clarify the specific actions of the relevant parties.
In a rapidly developing market, it is expected that regulators will strengthen their scrutiny. Early intervention helps to better control market dynamics. Meanwhile, some former employees of OpenAI have expressed concerns about the inadequate regulation of the current AI market through an open letter.
Industry experts believe that some recent behaviors of technology giants may be attempts to circumvent antitrust laws in order to avoid formal investigations.
Many people have observed that the booming AI market today is quite similar to the Internet boom from the late 20th century to the early 21st century. With the influx of capital, the intervention of regulators is clearly only a matter of time.
