Nvidia is reportedly under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) following complaints from its competitors regarding alleged antitrust violations. The investigation focuses on claims that Nvidia has abused its market dominance in the AI chip sector. Reports indicate that the DOJ has contacted companies such as Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and various AI chip startups to gather information on these complaints. Allegations include Nvidia threatening customers who purchase from competitors and concerns that Nvidia may raise prices or limit chip availability for customers who also buy from rival firms. Additionally, there are claims that Nvidia has bundled its products in a way that disadvantages customers who do not buy multiple items together. The DOJ is also examining Nvidia's acquisition of AI software startup Run:ai to determine if it affects the use of non-Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs). In response, Nvidia stated that it competes fairly based on innovation and investment, asserting compliance with all laws and emphasizing customer choice. The DOJ's investigation aligns with a broader scrutiny of potential anti-competitive behavior in the AI industry, which also includes companies like Microsoft and OpenAI.
