OpenAI Urges EU Regulators to Curb Big Tech’s Grip on AI Ecosystem

OpenAI has urged European Union regulators to prevent Big Tech companies like Google from monopolizing the artificial intelligence industry. In meetings with EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera, the ChatGPT maker argued that vertically integrated platforms—those already controlling search, ads, and user data—pose a barrier to fair competition. OpenAI’s appeal echoes growing EU scrutiny into how established tech firms are leveraging existing market power to dominate AI development and deployment.
