In a recent meeting with representatives of Teresa Ribera, the head of antitrust at the European Commission, OpenAI, the developer behind ChatGPT, voiced its concerns. It highlighted that although its apps are available on the app stores of Apple, Microsoft, and Google, the overwhelming dominance of these major U.S. tech giants has presented significant hurdles to OpenAI's growth. The meeting occurred on September 24, 2025, and the European Commission has since made the meeting minutes publicly accessible.

OpenAI's delegates urged regulatory bodies to stay alert and act promptly to prevent users from being confined to specific platforms. Such confinement, they argued, could impede companies like OpenAI in their efforts to compete with the established industry leaders. Presently, Apple is incorporating OpenAI's ChatGPT technology to bolster its Apple Intelligence features. Meanwhile, OpenAI continues to foster a collaborative relationship with Microsoft. Despite the presence of market barriers, they have not yet entirely stifled OpenAI's progress. OpenAI has adopted a definitive position and is gearing up for market competition in the realms of mobile terminal screens and AI software.
