Both of these agencies want a piece of Microsoft’s Open AI partnership | POLITICO

It’s coming to something when government agencies are fighting a mafia turf-war over which one of them gets to regulate something which hasn’t really happened but which they feel ought to have happened / they feel may have kinda, sorta happened-ish, headcanon-style.

The Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission are deep in discussions over which agency can probe OpenAI, including the ChatGPT creators’ involvement with Microsoft, on antitrust grounds.

The FTC initiated talks with the DOJ months ago to figure out which one can review the matter, according to three people with knowledge of the matter. But neither agency is ready to relinquish jurisdiction, the people said, which must be resolved before the government can formally intervene in one of the most high-profile and controversial tech partnerships in recent years.
