美国联邦贸易委员会（FTC）近日宣布，将对微软、亚马逊和谷歌等科技巨头对人工智能初创公司OpenAI和Anthropic的数十亿美元投资展开调查。FTC主席莉娜·汗在“FTC技术峰会”上表示，此次调查旨在研究“AI开发商与主要云服务提供商之间投资和合作伙伴关系的市场调查”。
此次调查涉及的三家科技巨头微软、亚马逊和谷歌，均为全球最大的云服务提供商之一，而OpenAI和Anthropic则是近年来备受关注的人工智能初创公司。有分析人士指出，此次调查可能涉及到市场竞争、数据隐私等多个方面，FTC的介入可能会对这一领域的未来发展产生重大影响。
FTC此举也再次引发了外界对于科技巨头在人工智能领域的垄断担忧。此前，微软曾斥资100亿美元收购了OpenAI的49%股份，而亚马逊和谷歌也分别对Anthropic进行了投资。此次调查结果将对整个行业产生重大影响。
In an announcement earlier this week, the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) revealed that it has launched an investigation into the multibillion-dollar investments by tech giants Microsoft, Amazon, and Google in AI startups OpenAI and Anthropic. FTC Chair Lina Khan described the probe as a “market investigation into investments and partnerships between AI developers and major cloud service providers” during her speech at the “FTC Technology Summit.”
The investigation covers three tech giants—Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, all of which are among the world’s largest cloud service providers. OpenAI and Anthropic are AI startups that have attracted significant attention in recent years. Analysts suggest that the probe may cover various aspects such as market competition and data privacy. The FTC’s intervention could have a significant impact on the future development of the field.
This move by the FTC has once again raised concerns about the monopolistic practices of tech giants in the AI sector. Previously, Microsoft had acquired a 49% stake in OpenAI for $10 billion, while Amazon and Google had invested in Anthropic. The outcome of the investigation will have a significant impact on the entire industry.
