DOJ subpoenas Nvidia in deepening AI antitrust probe, report says


DOJ reportedly seeks evidence of alleged unfair supply and pricing of AI chips.

One concern is that Nvidia may be giving "preferential supply and pricing to customers who use its technology exclusively or buy its complete systems," sources told Bloomberg. According to Bloomberg's sources, the DOJ is worried that "Nvidia is making it harder to switch to other suppliers and penalizes buyers that don’t exclusively use its artificial intelligence chips." According to Kanter, the DOJ is scrutinizing all aspects of the AI industry—"everything from computing power and the data used to train large language models, to cloud service providers, engineering talent and access to essential hardware such as graphics processing unit chips."
