OpenAI met with representatives of the Commission’s antitrust lead Teresa Ribera to discuss the way Apple and other big tech firms are “entrenched,” making it difficult for startups to compete. The meeting took place on September 24, 2025 with the minutes having been recently made available.
Those notes suggest that OpenAI’s representatives shared their views on “competition in the dynamic and evolving markets for artificial intelligence-based service,” among other things. They also pointed to the need for vigilance and “timely action” by regulators, like the EC, to avoid users being locked into specific platforms.
