Although Microsoft has access to ChatGPT's models, it accuses Google of having an unjust advantage in AI generation. Microsoft is criticizing Google while the EU scrutinizes the technological behemoth and its $10 billion investment in OpenAI. Microsoft argues that Google, despite OpenAI's supremacy as an AI model, has an edge due to their AI-centric chips and abundant data.

In a somewhat unexpected strategy to shift focus from its $10 billion investment in OpenAI, Microsoft has leveled accusations at Google. They claim the technology behemoth has an unjust edge in the field of generative artificial intelligence (AI).

Despite Microsoft's substantial collaboration with OpenAI, one of the leading entities in AI currently, the allegation arises. It's worth mentioning that Microsoft can access all of OpenAI's LLMs and various AI models. These models have consistently demonstrated superior performance compared to Google's Gemini AI.

During talks with EU antitrust authorities, Microsoft asserted that Google, supported by Alphabet, has attained a competitive advantage in the generative AI field, thanks to its enormous data pool and dedicated AI chips.

This underscores the continuous competition between the two technology giants.

Microsoft's comments were in response to an investigation started by the European Commission earlier this year regarding competition in the field of generative AI.

Generative AI has experienced a significant increase in popularity. Prime instances of this technology include Microsoft's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini chatbot. Nonetheless, there are rising concerns about the possibility of spreading misleading information and fabricated content.

Microsoft underscored Google's distinctive standing, maintaining that the company's in-house AI chips and its vast exclusive data from platforms such as Google Search and YouTube give it a significant edge.

Microsoft points out that Google's ability to tap into an impressive 14 billion YouTube videos for training its AI models provides a resource advantage that other developers don't have.

Additionally, Microsoft underscored the supremacy of Google and Apple in the realm of AI-based voice assistants like Google Assistant and Apple's Siri. According to Microsoft, these entrenched competitors are well-positioned to retain their top spots in generative AI, leaving limited space for new entrants.

Considering its financial involvement in OpenAI, Microsoft aimed to ease worries about possible monopoly problems stemming from partnerships between large corporations and emerging businesses. It highlighted several startups, such as Anthropic, Mistral, and Cohere, that have attracted investments from big names like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Salesforce, and NVIDIA.

Microsoft championed the idea of promoting partnerships that encourage competition in the AI industry as a way to avoid monopoly practices and guarantee fair competition for everyone.

As authorities investigate Microsoft's investment exceeding $10 billion in OpenAI, discussions surrounding equity and rivalry in AI development persistently progress, impacting areas much broader than just the tech sector.
