The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is advancing a comprehensive antitrust investigation into Microsoft Corporation, initiated during the final days of the Biden Administration. Under the leadership of Donald Trump’s appointee, FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson, the probe focuses on Microsoft’s AI operations and software licensing practices, particularly after the company’s significant investment in OpenAI, which may impact competition in the AI sector. The investigation involves scrutiny of Microsoft's data centers and potential advantages gained from profits in other business areas, while Microsoft seeks to limit the amount of information required by the FTC.
