Microsoft’s Azure cloud service is under scrutiny by EU antitrust authorities, citing concerns that Microsoft is using its market power to squeeze out rivals.
It is reported that as part of an informal investigation, EU regulators questioned its competitors and customers about possible violations of Microsoft’s cloud services. EU antitrust authorities want to know whether Microsoft is using the confidential information to compete with cloud service providers in the market, said two people familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Subsequently, Microsoft announced a new set of artificial intelligence solutions and improvements to provide better cloud services for nonprofit organizations. Microsoft said the new AI suite aims to change the way the nonprofit industry and fundraisers engage with donors, manage events and optimize operations.
