Japan's antitrust watchdog has initiated an investigation into the generative AI market to ensure fair competition. This move comes in response to the dominance of U.S. tech giants, particularly in semiconductors and specialized personnel essential for AI development. The Japan Fair Trade Commission aims to gather public input and analyze potential antitrust risks associated with generative AI.
The commission's concerns include the significant market share held by Nvidia in the semiconductor space, which could hinder new entrants. Additionally, the investigation will explore how major IT companies might monopolize talent and prioritize their own products. The findings from this investigation are expected to shape future regulations and ensure a balanced AI ecosystem.
