欧盟审查微软对法国人工智能初创公司 Mistral 的投资
欧盟竞争监督机构将审查微软对法国人工智能初创公司 Mistral 的投资。此外，微软与 OpenAI 公司的密切关系也将受到监管审查。
2 月 26 日，微软宣布与 Mistral AI 建立合作伙伴关系，并向后者投资。欧盟委员会发言人 27 日表示，在收到协议副本后，监管机构将分析微软对 Mistral AI 的投资。
此举可能导致正式调查，从而有可能破坏微软的计划。欧盟委员会将调查这笔投资是否会给予微软不公平的竞争优势，以及是否会损害欧盟单一市场的竞争。
微软与 OpenAI 的关系也受到密切关注。OpenAI 是人工智能研究公司，开发了 ChatGPT 等生成式人工智能工具。微软是 OpenAI 的主要投资者，并已将其技术整合到自己的产品中。
欧盟委员会表示，将审查微软与 OpenAI 的关系，以确保它不会损害竞争。委员会还将调查微软是否利用其在人工智能领域的领先地位来压制竞争对手。
这笔投资审查凸显了欧盟对大型科技公司日益增长的担忧。欧盟认为，这些公司正在利用其规模和市场力量来损害竞争和创新。
欧盟委员会此前曾对谷歌、亚马逊和苹果等科技巨头处以巨额罚款。委员会还提议了一系列新法规，旨在限制大型科技公司的权力。
微软对欧盟的审查表示理解，并表示将与监管机构合作。该公司表示，相信这笔投资将使 Mistral AI 能够开发新的创新人工智能技术。
Mistral AI 是一家位于巴黎的人工智能初创公司，专注于开发自然语言处理技术。该公司成立于 2018 年，已筹集了超过 2000 万美元的资金。
