BRUSSELS, March 24 (Reuters) - EU antitrust chief Teresa
Ribera, who has voiced concerns about Big Tech extending its
dominance into artificial intelligence, will meet the CEOs of
Alphabet, Meta Platforms ( META ) and OpenAI on
Tuesday, a European Commission agenda item shows.
The first-time meetings with Sundar Pichai, Mark Zuckerberg,
and Sam Altman in San Francisco will take place as part of
Ribera's week-long trip to the United States where she is
scheduled to speak at an American Bar Association conference on
Friday.
She will also meet Amazon ( AMZN ) CEO Andy Jassy on Wednesday.
Ribera, who has launched several investigations into Google
and Meta's business practices, this month said she was examining
the entire AI stack, including AI chatbots, the data used to
train them and the cloud computing infrastructure.
The European Commission, which acts as the EU competition
enforcer, has said risks are emerging as dominant companies
favour their AI services on their own platforms to exclude
rivals.
Technology giants, including OpenAI, Nvidia, Meta and Google
have been investing billions on AI infrastructure to cater for
booming demand.
