UK drops antitrust probe into Microsoft and OpenAI tie-up

Quick Summary:

LONDON :Britain dropped its probe into Microsoft's partnership with ChatGPT maker OpenAI on Wednesday, saying the software giant did not have the level of control over the AI company that would warrant further investigation.

However, it said the conclusion "does not constitute a finding that no competition concerns arise from its operation".

A battle in the startup's boardroom that led to the exit and return of CEO Sam Altman in 2023 raised questions about the company's structure.
