Microsoft (MSFT. O) is facing a new consumer lawsuit in which plaintiffs accuse the tech giant of illegally inflating the price of generative artificial intelligence through a secret agreement with ChatGPT developer OpenAI. The class-action lawsuit, which has been filed in federal court in San Francisco, alleges that Microsoft used an exclusive cloud computing agreement with OpenAI to limit the supply of computing resources needed to run ChatGPT. To date, Microsoft has invested more than $13 billion in OpenAI. The complaint alleges that Microsoft's agreements in the early stages of OpenAI's development violated the U.S. federal Antimonopoly Act, stifled market competition and artificially inflated the subscription price of ChatGPT while compromising the quality of the product for millions of users of the artificial intelligence platform.
