OpenAI has told European Union regulators that dominant tech platforms, particularly Google, are making it harder for new players to compete in the fast-growing AI industry.
The ChatGPT-maker presented its arguments during a September 24 meeting with EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera, urging the European Commission to act against practices that could lock users into existing platforms. The company's position aligns with its public statements about ensuring fair competition in the AI market.
According to meeting notes cited by Bloomberg, OpenAI raised concerns about how vertically integrated platforms are using their market dominance to extend control over AI technologies. The Commission is already reviewing certain intercompany agreements as part of its broader investigation into competition in the sector.
