Nvidia is set to be charged by the French antitrust regulator for allegedly anti-competitive practices, people with direct knowledge of the matter said, making it the first enforcer to act against the company, Reuters reported.
The French so-called statement of objections or charge sheet would follow dawn raids in the graphics cards sector in September last year, which sources said targeted Nvidia, Reuters said.
The raids were the result of a broader inquiry into cloud computing, Reuters reported.
The French watchdog in a report issued last Friday on competition in generative AI cited the risk of abuse by chip providers, Reuters said.
