Microsoft has chosen to step down from its observer position on OpenAI's board due to concerns raised by competition authorities in the EU, UK, and the US regarding potential market dominance in the AI sector. Despite being the primary investor in OpenAI, Microsoft's withdrawal aligns with increased regulatory pressure and investigations on both sides of the Atlantic.

The decision coincides with Apple also opting to engage with OpenAI as a stakeholder rather than maintaining an observer role on the board. Amid growing antitrust scrutiny, OpenAI plans to establish a new approach involving regular stakeholder meetings with key partners and investors like Microsoft and Apple.
