Despite having access to ChatGPT's models, Microsoft alleges that Google has an unjust advantage in generative AI. As the EU probes into the tech behemoth and its $10 billion commitment to OpenAI, Microsoft is attempting to spotlight Google's perceived infractions. Even though OpenAI is a dominant AI model, Microsoft asserts that Google surpasses others owing to their AI-dedicated chips and abundant data.

In a somewhat unexpected strategy to shift focus from its $10 billion stake in OpenAI, Microsoft has laid blame on Google, alleging that the technology behemoth has an unjust edge in the field of generative artificial intelligence (AI).

Despite Microsoft's substantial collaboration with OpenAI, arguably the leading entity in AI currently, it has been accused. It's worth mentioning that Microsoft holds the privilege to use all of OpenAI’s LLMs and various AI models. These models have continually demonstrated superior performance compared to Google’s Gemini AI.

During conversations with EU antitrust authorities, Microsoft alleged that Google, supported by Alphabet, has earned a competitive advantage in the realm of generative AI. They attributed this to Google's substantial data pool and their dedicated AI chips.

This underscores the continuous competition between the two technology giants.

Microsoft's comments were in response to an investigation launched by the European Commission earlier this year about competition in the generative AI sector.

The interest in Generative AI has significantly increased, with Microsoft's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini chatbot being key illustrations. Nonetheless, there are worries about the possibility of false information and counterfeit content.

Microsoft underscored Google's special advantage, claiming that the company's in-house AI chips, coupled with its exclusive access to vast amounts of proprietary data from platforms such as Google Search and YouTube, gives it a significant edge.

Microsoft asserts that Google's ability to tap into a vast collection of 14 billion videos on YouTube provides unmatched assets for educating its AI systems, a privilege that is not accessible to other developers.

Furthermore, Microsoft emphasized Google's and Apple's leading roles in the realm of AI-driven voice assistants, like Google Assistant and Apple's Siri. According to Microsoft, these well-established firms are well-positioned to uphold their dominance in the generative AI sector, offering minimal opportunities for new entrants.

Considering its financial involvement in OpenAI, Microsoft aimed to dispel fears about possible monopoly problems stemming from partnerships between large corporations and emerging businesses. It highlighted several startups, such as Anthropic, Mistral, and Cohere, which have received funding from significant entities like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Salesforce, and NVIDIA.

Microsoft championed the creation of cooperative relationships in the AI industry to prevent monopoly practices and guarantee fair competition.

As authorities investigate Microsoft's investment exceeding $10 billion in OpenAI, the discussion about equality and rivalry in AI development persistently progresses, with effects extending well past the technology sector.
