Italy Opens DeepSeek Probe Over False Information

Italy's antitrust and consumer rights regulator has launched an investigation into Chinese AI start-up DeepSeek for allegedly not adequately warning users about the risk of false information generated by its chatbot's 'hallucinations'.
DeepSeek faces a separate probe from Italy's data protection regulator for insufficient answers regarding user data processing, leading to a restriction on processing Italian users' data and a call to block the app in Italy.
Italy's Garante data protection agency took action due to DeepSeek's perceived non-compliance with EU regulations, which led to fines and temporary bans in cases involving AI models like OpenAI and Replika AI.
Garante fined OpenAI 15 million euros previously and last month fined the company behind Replika AI 5 million euros for failing to safeguard against children's misuse of the service.
In a legal move, leading AI chip maker Nvidia has filed a lawsuit against the European Commission for investigating its acquisition of Run:ai beyond permitted limits, citing AGCM's role in triggering the probe.

OpenAI ‘Considers’ Making Antitrust Allegations Against Microsoft

OpenAI executives have reportedly considered leveraging antitrust accusations against Microsoft to loosen the firm's control under their six-year investment deal, which includes seeking a federal regulatory review and conducting a public campaign.
The disagreement stemmed from Microsoft's access to all of OpenAI's intellectual property, including that of the acquired coding start-up Windsurf, which OpenAI aims to keep separate to enhance its coding offerings competing with Microsoft's GitHub Copilot.
Microsoft's investments in OpenAI total over $10 billion, and OpenAI requires Microsoft's approval to transition into a public benefit corporation, with more than $20 billion in funding depending on the conversion by year-end.
Microsoft allowed OpenAI to initiate the Stargate data center project, despite an obligation for Microsoft to be the sole cloud provider under their agreement, while also expanding its AI offerings independently.
OpenAI seeks to offer its products through other cloud providers like Google Cloud, leading to conflicts with Microsoft, known for hiring talent to strengthen its AI projects in competition with OpenAI.
OpenAI's plans to broaden its cloud provider reach have led to disputes with Microsoft over ownership proportions post-public-benefit conversion, with Microsoft and OpenAI negotiating crucial terms amid regulatory examinations.
