According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, the collaborative relationship between OpenAI and Microsoft is entering an unprecedented tense phase as negotiations between the two sides have reached a deadlock. OpenAI is currently striving to reduce Microsoft's control over artificial intelligence (AI) technology and computing capabilities. At the same time, OpenAI also hopes to receive Microsoft's approval to transition to a for-profit enterprise, paving the way for new Capital raising rounds and future stock listing plans.
In the context of escalating tensions, OpenAI is reportedly considering filing an antitrust complaint against Microsoft with regulatory agencies to protect its technological autonomy and strategic business development rights. This move reflects a serious rift in the partnership that was once considered strategic between the two tech giants, who had closely collaborated for many years to jointly promote AI development globally.
If OpenAI actually proceeds with the complaint, this would be a major turning point in the technology industry, especially in a context where regulators in the US and Europe are tightening oversight of tech corporations showing signs of market dominance abuse.
