BRUSSELS, June 28 (Reuters) - EU antitrust regulators

will seek additional third party views on the partnership

between Microsoft ( MSFT ) and OpenAI as well Google's

artificial intelligence deal with Samsung for

Samsung devices, EU competition chief Margrethe Vestager said on

Friday.

Vestager had in March sent questionnaires to Microsoft ( MSFT ),

Google, Meta's Facebook and ByteDance's TikTok as well

as other big tech companies related to their AI partnerships.

"We have reviewed the replies, and are now sending a

follow-up request for information on the agreement between

Microsoft ( MSFT ) and OpenAI. To understand whether certain exclusivity

clauses could have a negative effect on competitors," she told a

conference.
