美国微软公司和人工智能公司OpenAI正面临美国政府发起的反垄断调查。消息人士透露，美国司法部和联邦贸易委员会（FTC）正在就谁将负责审查OpenAI与微软之间的关系进行深入讨论。几个月前，FTC开始与司法部进行谈判，希望确定审查的负责机构。然而，知情人士表示，这两个机构都不愿意放弃对这一案件的管辖权。这可能意味着，在确定审查负责机构之前，美国政府可能会干预这两家公司的合作关系。
据了解，调查的核心是OpenAI是否因其与微软的合作关系而具有市场垄断地位。微软作为OpenAI的主要投资者之一，两家公司的紧密合作引发了市场对垄断行为的担忧。如果OpenAI被认定具有市场垄断地位，可能会面临政府提出的拆分或其他处罚措施。
针对此事，微软和OpenAI均表示，他们一直在与政府机构进行合作，以确保符合所有相关法律法规。同时，两家公司均强调，他们的合作关系是为了推动人工智能技术的发展，而非获取市场垄断地位。

News content：
Microsoft and artificial intelligence company OpenAI are facing an antitrust probe by the US government. Sources reveal that the US Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) are in deep discussions over which agency will be responsible for reviewing the relationship between OpenAI and Microsoft, including the creators of ChatGPT. Months ago, the FTC began negotiating with the Justice Department to determine the lead agency for the review. However, sources say that neither agency is willing to give up jurisdiction over the case, which may mean that the US government could intervene in the relationship between the two companies before the issue of jurisdiction is resolved.
The investigation’s core is whether OpenAI has a dominant market position due to its collaboration with Microsoft. As one of OpenAI’s main investors, the close cooperation between the two companies has raised concerns about market monopoly behavior. If OpenAI is found to have a dominant market position, it may face government penalties such as divestiture or other sanctions.
Both Microsoft and OpenAI have stated that they have been cooperating with government agencies to ensure compliance with all relevant laws and regulations. At the same time, both companies emphasize that their partnership is aimed at advancing the development of artificial intelligence technology, rather than obtaining a market dominant position.
