Microsoft highlighted concerns about the growing popularity of generative AI, which can generate human-like responses and its potential for misinformation. The report stated that Google's vertical integration, from chips to app stores, gives it an edge, while its access to proprietary data from Google Search Index and YouTube helps train its language model Gemini. Microsoft also defended partnerships in the AI space to promote competition and prevent anticompetitive advantages.
