posted 2 Feb 2024
The Irish Council for Civil Liberties (ICCL), backed by organizations such as Foxglove and Mozilla, has called for an EU regulatory probe into the Microsoft-OpenAI partnership, speculating it could amount to a de facto merger.
The ICCL's statement points out that Microsoft's hefty $13 billion investment in OpenAI transcends the norms of standard business cooperation, suggesting a deeper level of control.
Additionally, the submission draws attention to the reappointment of Sam Altman as CEO of OpenAI, emphasizing Microsoft's pivotal influence in this matter.
