The European Union is examining alleged anticompetitive abuses in chips used for artificial intelligence, a market that’s dominated by Nvidia Corp.
The European Commission has been informally collecting views on potentially abusive practices in the sector for so-called graphics processing units, to understand if there could be the need for future intervention, people familiar with the matter said. The early stage investigation may never result in a formal probe or penalties.
