Abalawuli base-UK bafuna ukuzwa "kubantu besithathu abanentshisekelo" ukuthi ukutshalwa kwezimali kweMicrosoft ne-Amazon ekuqaleni kwe-AI kuvimbela ukuncintisana.

I-Competition and Markets Authority (i-CMA) ikhiphe ikhwelo lokuba kubonwe imibono mayelana nezivumelwano ezihlukene zama-megacorp amabili kanye nezinqumo zamasu phakathi kobuholi be-AI obuqhubekayo.

Ngaphansi kwe-microscope kukhona "Ubudlelwano" phakathi kwe-Amazon ne-Anthropic, kanye nesivumelwano seMicrosoft neMistral AI, kanye “nokuqashwa kwayo kwabasebenzi bangaphambili kanye nezinhlelo ezihlobene ne-Inflection AI,” kusho i-CMA.

Inhloso ye-watchdog ukuthola ukuthi lezi zimakethe zihamba “zingena emithethweni yokuhlanganisa yase-UK kanye nomthelela lawa malungiselelo angaba nawo emqhudelwaneni wase-UK.”

As I-Reg abafundi bayazi, iMicrosoft ithenge isamba esingu-$16.4 million ekuqaleni kweFrance ngoMashi (futhi okuthakaselwayo kwaba Ithimba le-EC's antitrust), futhi ngenyanga efanayo waqasha i-CEO kanye nomsunguli we-Inflection, u-Mustafa Suleyman, manje ihola uphiko lwe-AI lweMicrosoft, ingxenye yayinabasebenzi abaningana ayehamba nabo.

IMicrosoft kubikwa ukuthi ikhokhele ama- $ 650 wezigidi ku-Inflection AI, ukuvusa intshisekelo eyengeziwe kusuka kubalawuli bokuncintisana ku-EC. IBloomberg ngesonto eledlule iphakamise ukuthi i-EC inqume ukuthi bekungekona ukuhlanganiswa kodwa iReuters ithe izikhulu zisacubungula icala elibanzi lokungathembeki.

Umkhulumeli weMicrosoft utshele IRejista: "Sihlala siqiniseka ukuthi izinqubo zebhizinisi ezivamile ezifana nokuqashwa kwethalenta noma ukutshala izimali ezincane ekuqalisweni kwe-AI zikhuthaza ukuncintisana futhi azifani nokuhlanganisa," basho. 

"Sizohlinzeka i-UK Competition and Markets Authority ngolwazi eludingayo ukuze iqedele imibuzo yayo ngokushesha."

NjengeMicrosoft neGoogle, i-Amazon iyasebenza iphenywe yi-US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) phezu kokusebenzelana kwayo kwe-AI. Kodwa-ke, ukuhlola okungaba khona kwe-CMA kokutshalwa kwezimali kwe-Amazon kuzoba okokuqala kohlobo lwayo eYurophu.

Inkampani ye-Bezos iphothulile $ 4 billion wokutshalwa kwezimali ku-Anthropic ngenyanga edlule ngemuva kokujova i- $ 1.25 billion yokuqala ngoSepthemba 2023.

Isivumelwano se-Amazon ne-AI upstart sihlanganisa izinsiza zokuthenga ze-Anthropic endaweni yayo yamafu, i-AWS, futhi kuzoba nezinhlelo ezingakhethekile zokusingatha amamodeli we-Anthropic ku-Amazon Bedrock - inkundla yayo yokwakha izinhlelo zokusebenza ze-GenAI.

NjengeMicrosoft, i-Amazon icabanga ukuthi isobala, futhi inethemba lokuthola isisombululo esisheshayo. Umkhulumeli uthe: “Akukaze kwenzeke ukuthi i-CMA ibuyekeze ukusebenzisana kwalolu hlobo.

“Ngokungafani nobudlelwano phakathi kwezinye iziqalo ze-AI nezinkampani ezinkulu zobuchwepheshe, ukusebenzisana kwethu ne-Anthropic kufaka ukutshalwa kwezimali okulinganiselwe, akuniki i-Amazon umqondisi webhodi noma indima yokubuka, futhi iyaqhubeka nokuba ne-Anthropic eqhuba amamodeli ayo kubahlinzeki abaningi bamafu.

“Ngokutshala imali ku-Anthropic, esanda kukhipha amamodeli ayo angcono kakhulu embonini, ama-Claude 3 amasha, sisiza ukwenza ingxenye ekhiqizayo ye-AI iqhudelane kakhulu kunale minyaka embalwa edlule. Futhi amakhasimende ajabule kakhulu ngamathuba lokhu kubambisana okubanikeza khona.

“Siyethemba ukuthi amaqiniso ayazikhulumela, futhi sithemba ukuthi i-CMA ivuma ukukuxazulula lokhu ngokushesha.”

Umkhulumeli we-Anthropic uhambe emazwini ka-Amazon: “Sihlose ukubambisana ne-CMA futhi sibanikeze isithombe esiphelele mayelana nokutshalwa kwezimali kwe-Amazon nokusebenzisana kwethu kwezohwebo.

“Siyinkampani ezimele futhi abukho ubudlelwano bethu bamasu noma ubudlelwano babatshalizimali obunciphisa ukuzimela kokuphatha ngokubambisana kwethu noma inkululeko yethu yokubambisana nabanye. Ukuzimela kwe-Anthropic kuyisici esiyinhloko - okubalulekile kokubili emkhankasweni wethu wokuhlomulisa umphakathi nasekusebenzeleni amakhasimende ethu noma kuphi nanoma yikuphi lapho ethanda ukufinyelela khona uClaude.”

Isicelo se-CMA sokubuka siqhubeka kuze kube umhla ziyisi-9 kuNhlaba, ngemva kwalokho kuzobuyekezwa iSigaba 1, futhi kufanele siphothulwe zingakapheli izinsuku zokusebenza ezingama-40. Lokho kungase kunqume ukuthi ubambiswano aluhlanganisi isimo sokuhlanganisa, noma lwenze, kodwa alwethuli usongo emqhudelwaneni.

Kungase futhi kuphethe ukuthi ubudlelwano bungabhekwa njengokuhlanganisa okusongela ukuncintisana kwemakethe, isinqumo esingaholela ophenyweni olude kakhulu olungathatha amaviki angama-32.

UJoel Bamford, umqondisi omkhulu wokuhlanganiswa kwe-CMA, uthe: “Amamodeli Esisekelo anamandla okuba nomthelela endleleni sonke esiphila ngayo nesisebenza ngayo, okuhlanganisa imikhiqizo nezinsizakalo emikhakheni eminingi yase-UK - ezempilo, amandla, ezokuthutha, ezezimali nokunye. Ngakho-ke ukuncintisana okuvulekile, okungenzeleli, futhi okuphumelelayo ezimakethe ze-Foundation Model kubalulekile ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi izinzuzo ezigcwele zalolu shintsho zitholwa abantu namabhizinisi ase-UK, kanye nomnotho wethu obanzi lapho ubuchwepheshe bunendima enkulu ongayidlala ekukhuleni nasekukhuleni. ukukhiqiza.

“Uma kubhekwa isimo somhlaba salezi zimakethe, iziphathimandla zokuncintisana emhlabeni wonke zibhekisisa i-AI.

“I-CMA isanda kuzibophezela ekukhuliseni ukusetshenziswa kwamandla ayo okulawula ukuhlanganisa njengengxenye yokuvuselelwa kwamamodeli eSisekelo. Yize sihlala sinomqondo ovulekile futhi singakafinyeleli esiphethweni, inhloso yethu ukuqonda kangcono ubudlelwano obuyinkimbinkimbi nezinhlelo ezikhona.”

I-Mistral AI kanye ne-Inflection AI ayizange iphendule ngokushesha esicelweni sethu sempendulo esimemezelweni se-CMA. ®
