Nvidia is facing an antitrust investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice, focusing on its dominant market position in the artificial intelligence sector and whether it has taken measures to stifle competition, including penalizing suppliers that do not use its AI chips.

Apple is actively working to reduce its reliance on traditional search by improving Siri, integrating AI chatbots, and betting that AI technology will eventually replace conventional search. Apple's cooperation with OpenAI and its plans to collaborate with Google’s AI chatbot, Gemi, are key to this strategy.
