'Feds Put Nvidia AI Deal Under Antitrust Scrutiny' - POLITICO
A relatively obscure Israeli start-up has gotten caught up in the tug-of-war between U.S. regulators and the world's largest tech companies over whether artificial intelligence is at risk of being controlled by a handful of giants.
一家相對較爲不知名的以色列創業公司捲入了美國監管機構和世界上最大的科技公司之間的拉鋸戰,爭論的焦點是是否存在人工智能被一小撮巨頭控制的風險。
Justice Department lawyers are investigating the acquisition of the AI start-up Run:ai by semiconductor company Nvidia on antitrust grounds, according to five people with direct knowledge of the matter, who were granted anonymity to discuss a confidential investigation. The companies announced the deal in late April without disclosing a price, though TechCrunch reported $700 million.
