The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has launched a broad antitrust investigation into Microsoft Corporation. The probe will scrutinize the company’s business practices across several key sectors, including cloud computing, software licensing, cybersecurity services, and artificial intelligence (AI) products.

The FTC’s move comes as Microsoft continues to expand its influence in the AI sector through partnerships with OpenAI and its Copilot offerings. The investigation proceeds despite the likely departure of the FTC chief.
