Newswise — WASHINGTON (July 10, 2024) – Microsoft has given up its board observer seat at OpenAI. According to Reuters, the move was aimed “at easing U.S. and UK antitrust regulators' concerns about the extent of its control over the AI startup,” but a source at the agency says the change may not resolve concerns. Apple is also ditching its plans for an advisory role with OpenAI, the Financial Times first reported, after striking a deal with the company last month to integrate ChatGPT into Apple products.
