The UK Competition and Markets Authority recently launched an investigation into Microsoft's hiring of former Inflection AI employees to acquire their artificial intelligence technology, suspecting Microsoft of evading antitrust scrutiny through talent poaching instead of directly acquiring companies. The investigation will determine if this behavior constitutes market monopoly practices, with Microsoft stating they will cooperate and provide necessary information. Previously investigated by the US FTC and facing accusations of market dominance in the EU with Microsoft Teams, this investigation is part of heightened antitrust scrutiny on Microsoft globally.
