Microsoft and OpenAI's Competing Roles

Microsoft has listed OpenAI as a competitor in its latest annual report, unusual given their long-term partnership and Microsoft’s significant investment of around $13 billion. This shift indicates a growing rivalry as both companies target similar markets, particularly in AI offerings such as search engines and advertising. OpenAI’s introduction of Search GPT positions it directly against Microsoft's existing AI products, despite relying on Bing technology. This change in relationship dynamics raises questions about strategic motives, especially amidst ongoing federal investigations into potential antitrust issues among major tech firms.
