The European Union previously launched an investigation into the investment cooperation between Microsoft and OpenAI. This time, it revealed that it will further intervene in the investigation and further revealed that it will clarify whether there is any suspicion of violation of market competition in the artificial intelligence technology cooperation between Google and Samsung.
Regarding the cooperation between Google and Samsung, the EU is currently considering that Google may expand the scope of its artificial intelligence technology through the sales of Samsung mobile phone products in the global market, thereby giving its artificial intelligence technology a greater competitive advantage.
Samsung has already partnered with Google to integrate its Gemini Nano small-scale artificial intelligence model into the Galaxy S24 series launched at the beginning of the year. It has also collaborated with Google on the Gemini Pro model on the Google Cloud Vertex AI platform, and has become Google's first partner to test the Gemini Ultra, which may help Google expand its artificial intelligence technology development.
In addition, Margrethe Vestager also stated that the EU has begun investigating whether the practice of technology companies acquiring artificial intelligence technology and talents through acquisitions involves market monopoly, hoping to prevent technologies such as artificial intelligence from being overly concentrated in the hands of specific technology companies, thereby affecting fair competition in the market.
