Microsoft ki OpenAI ke saath ta’alluqat par antitrust tafteeshen USA aur UK mein
US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Microsoft ki OpenAI mein invest karne par antitrust qanoon torney ke liye tayyariyan kar rahi hai. UK ke competition watchdog ne bhi interested parties se kaha hai ke woh Microsoft ki OpenAI ke saath partnership par raye den aur ye dekhen ke ye UK mein competition par kis tarah ka asar dal sakta hai.
US FTC abhi Microsoft Corp ki OpenAI Inc mein ki gayi invest ki preliminary tafteeshen kar rahi hai taake ye maloom ho ke kya ye antitrust qanoon ko torr rahi hai aur ye dekhe ja sake ke Microsoft ki ye invest OpenAI par zyada control deta hai ya nahi. Is waqt tak koi rasmi tehqiqat shuru nahi hui, lekin idara haalat ko tajziya kar raha hai aur apne options ko madde nazar rakhta hai.
Bloomberg ke sources ke mutabiq, Microsoft ne FTC ko upar zikr ki gayi invest ke bare mein report nahi kiya. Is faisley ka sabab ye tha ke US ke qanoon ke mutabiq, OpenAI mein ki gayi invest Microsoft ko us par zyada control nahi deta. Khaas taur par, OpenAI non-profit organization ki tarah kaam karti hai, aur non-corporate entities ke darmiyan hone wale mergers ko US merger law ke mutabiq report karne ki zimmedari se bachaya gaya hai. Lekin FTC ke spokesperson ne is mamle par kuch kehne se inkar kar diya hai, aur Microsoft ka jawab abhi tak nahi aya hai.
Isi doran, UK ke Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) ne Microsoft ki OpenAI ke saath ki gayi partnership par raye dene ke liye sab concerned parties se pehli dawat bheji hai. Unhe diya gaya waqt hai ke woh apne shuru’i views submit karen ke ye partnership British law ke mutabiq kya impinging merger situation peda karti hai. Unhe UK ke andar competition par hone wale asar ke bare mein bhi malumat chahiye. Interested parties ko 3 January 2023 tak apni comments dene ka mouqa diya gaya hai. CMA is doraan ye soche gi ke is doran munkarar kya kadam utha sakti hai, agar koi.
Sorcha O’Carroll, CMA ke mergers ke senior director, ne ye wazeh kardiya hai, ‘Comments denay ka dawat CMA ki malumat ikhtra karne ke pehle kiya gaya hai aur is se pehle koi phase 1 investigation launch nahi hogi, jo sirf tab hoga jab CMA partnership parties se zaruri malumat hasil kar le.’
Is mamle mein tafteeshen ki zarurat
OpenAI mein boardroom ke jhagray ke baad paida hui, jo ne OpenAI ke board ki tajwez ki hai. Microsoft ne OpenAI ka bara supporter hone ke natayej mein company ke board par non-voting observer position hasil ki hai, jis se unhe meetings mein shamil hone aur raaziyana malumat tak access hone ki ijaazat hai lekin unhe important mamlat mein vote nahi karne ki ijaazat hai. Phir bhi, Microsoft ki OpenAI mein malikana hisse ki tafseelat mein ikhtilaaf hai, Reuters ke ek source ne ye dawa kiya hai ke Microsoft ne ek for-profit subsidiary ke zariye 49% hissa hasil kiya hai. Wahin, Microsoft is inkar karta hai aur kehta hai ke ye tafseelat razaqiya hai.
