After UK, Microsoft's OpenAI investment is under EU’s scanner

The UK and EU are investigating Microsoft's investment in OpenAI. The UK's antitrust regulator is monitoring the partnership to determine if it impacts competition. Meanwhile, the European Commission is conducting a preliminary probe to decide if an in-depth merger review is necessary. Concerns arise from OpenAI's internal struggles and Microsoft's potential control over the AI company. The EU is particularly worried about the competitiveness of virtual worlds and generative AI markets. Regulatory action is uncertain at this stage.
