Beyond AGI Promises & AIDC Session on Generative AI and Artistic Workflows
From Abhivardhan, our Chairperson
🤖 Now, back to some real technology policy issues we all grapple at some level :)
You must have heard of the fact that Microsoft (MSFT) had acknowledged OpenAI as their 'competitor' in their 2024-published fiscal report (annual).
That's huge, and has serious implications. Still, I mean it won't be easy for any US Government regulator, even under Trump, to solve this market dilemma.
🔍 Here's why this matters more than you think:
Just published a detailed analysis on how this "competitor" designation + OpenAI's potential AGI clause removal creates a fascinating paradox in competition policy (read the analysis via Indic Pacific Legal Research LLP at https://www.indicpacific.com/post/beyond-agi-promises-decoding-microsoft-openai-s-competition-policy-paradox).
Think about it - a $13B investor calling its investee a competitor? That's not just corporate drama - it's reshaping how we think about:
🔄 Tech partnerships in the AI age
📊 Market power dynamics
⚖️ Competition regulation
🎯 Future of AI governance
The article breaks down why traditional antitrust frameworks are struggling to handle these new "coopetition" models. Whether you're in tech, policy, or business, this affects how future tech partnerships will be structured.
💭 Curious to hear your thoughts on this! Are we entering an era where being an investor and competitor simultaneously becomes the norm?
