OpenAI Urges EU Regulators to Curb Big Tech’s Grip on AI Ecosystem

OpenAI has told European Union regulators that competition in the AI industry is being stifled by entrenched tech giants such as Google. In a statement shared Thursday, the ChatGPT maker maintains that these arguments are not novel, but instead reflect its long-standing public position on fair competition in the AI ecosystem, according to a Reuters report.

For context, during a September 24 meeting with Teresa Ribera, EU antitrust chief, OpenAI highlighted the challenges that “smaller” players like itself face when competing against vertically integrated platforms that already control massive user bases and infrastructure.

According to reports first published by Bloomberg News, the world’s most valuable startup then urged the Commission to ensure that major platforms cannot “lock in” users or leverage their dominance in search and advertising to further tighten their grip on the fast-growing AI market.

While the European Union and Google did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for comments, OpenAI said the commission was already investigating how tech giants are extending their market positions into AI, in part by evaluating specific intercompany agreements.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
