On June 28th local time, Margaret Vestag, Executive Vice President and Head of Competition Affairs of the European Commission, stated that Microsoft's partnership with OpenAI may face an EU antitrust investigation. "We have reviewed the response and are now sending a follow-up request for information on the agreement between Microsoft and OpenAI to understand whether certain exclusivity clauses will have a negative impact on competitors," she said at a meeting. Vestag stated that due to a lack of control, Microsoft's cooperation with OpenAI will not be subject to EU merger rules. In addition, she mentioned, "We also sent information requests to better understand the impact of Google pre installing its small GeminiNano on certain Samsung devices."
