The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has recently Antitrust investigation opened on NVIDIA. The news, reported by several sources, follows a series of complaints from competitors accusing NVIDIA of abusing its dominant position. NVIDIA, which currently controls about 80 percent of the AI chip market, has defended its business practices by saying it competes based on decades of investment and innovation and complies with all applicable laws.
However, pressure for an investigation has grown, including from progressive groups and Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren. The DOJ’s investigation into NVIDIA comes amid a broader scrutiny of antitrust practices in the tech industry, with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) conducting separate investigations into Microsoft and OpenAI..According to the available information, The investigation will focus on two main aspects: whether NVIDIA has pressured cloud providers to buy more of its products and whether the company charges higher prices for networking equipment when customers decide to buy AI chips from rivals like AMD or Intel.
