Microsoft currently holds a dominant position in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), thanks to its partnership with OpenAI and the success of its genAI tool, ChatGPT. However, a potential deal between Google and Apple to embed Google's genAI tool, Gemini, into iPhones could threaten Microsoft's AI dominance. If the deal goes through, Google would have a monopoly on AI in mobile devices, potentially surpassing Microsoft and OpenAI in terms of user base and data training. Despite this, Microsoft is actively working to extend its lead in AI by hiring top AI talent, releasing improved versions of ChatGPT and Copilot, and monetizing its AI offerings. The outcome of potential antitrust investigations and lawsuits against all three companies, as well as the involvement of government regulators, could ultimately determine which company will dominate AI in the future.
