Microsoft singles out Google's competitive edge in generative AI
Summary
Microsoft has highlighted Google's significant advantage in the generative AI sector to EU antitrust regulators, pointing out Google's vast data resources and AI-optimized chips. This competitive edge is bolstered by proprietary data from Google Search and YouTube, allowing Google to train its Gemini model more effectively. Meanwhile, Google's and Apple's dominance in AI-powered voice assistants could further strengthen their position in generative AI, disadvantaging new entrants. Microsoft emphasized the importance of pro-competitive partnerships to counteract the risk of a few companies dominating through vertical integration. Google responded by emphasizing its platform's openness compared to competitors. This discussion forms part of broader consultations by the European Commission into competition within the generative AI field.
