Microsoft Breaking Up with OpenAI?What’s Next?

Trending AI Breaking News! 🚀

• Microsoft is building its own AI to rely less on OpenAI.

• Apple delayed its AI-powered Siri upgrade to next year.

• AI tool Manus went viral online.

• US proposed more AI laws in early 2025 than in all of 2024.

Microsoft has stepped down from OpenAI’s board, and Apple won’t join either. This unexpected decision comes as both companies compete in AI while facing more checks from regulators.

Microsoft’s decision to leave OpenAI’s board was likely influenced by growing concerns over competition, according to Alex Haffner, a lawyer in the UK.

He said regulators are closely watching how big tech companies, including Microsoft, are controlling smaller AI companies.

Even though Microsoft avoided an investigation by the EU in June, authorities are still looking at its influence in AI. Haffner believes Microsoft and other tech companies must be careful about how they manage their AI partnerships in the future.

Background on Big Tech and AI Monitoring

For years, big tech companies like Microsoft, Google, and Apple faced little pressure from regulators. But recently, authorities worldwide, including the U.S. and Europe, have started investigating their control over digital markets.

Concerns include Apple and Google’s control over apps, Meta’s handling of privacy and ads, and Microsoft’s huge purchases like the $69 billion acquisition of gaming company Blizzard.

Big Tech’s AI Race and Rising Concerns

✅The AI boom started with OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

✅Big companies like OpenAI (Sora), Google (Gemini), Microsoft (Copilot), Adobe (Firefly), and Anthropic (Claude) are racing to build better AI tools.

✅Regulators worry that giants like Microsoft, Amazon, and Nvidia may block smaller AI startups from growing.

✅Microsoft has already faced investigation for its AI deals, including a $13 billion investment in OpenAI and a $4 billion deal with AI startup Inflection.

Similarly, Google is under review for its plan to preinstall Gemini AI on Samsung phones, and Amazon is being questioned over its $4 billion investment in Anthropic.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s Wealth

• OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, has an estimated net worth of $1 billion.

• His wealth mainly comes from investments in companies like Stripe, Reddit, and nuclear fusion startup Helion.

• Before OpenAI, Altman founded social mapping company Loopt and was the president of startup accelerator Y Combinator.
