The European Commission, the bloc’s executive arm, started reviewing the deal last year.

The European Commission is taking a fresh look into Microsoft’s multibillion-dollar partnership with OpenAI

“Microsoft has invested 13 billion dollars in OpenAI over the years,” she said, “but we have to make sure that partnerships like this do not become a disguise for one partner getting a controlling influence over the other.” The EU wants “to understand whether certain exclusivity clauses could have a negative effect on competitors”, she said.

She said EU regulators have sent information requests “to better understand the effects of Google’s arrangement with Samsung” to pre-install Gemini Nano on some devices from the South Korean tech company. Gemini Nano is the smallest version of Google’s Gemini AI foundation model.
