JAKARTA - Microsoft Corp. has threatened to cut off access to its internet search data, which it licensed to a rival search engine, if they don't stop using it as the basis for their own artificial intelligence chat product, Bloomberg News reported on Friday, March 24.
The company has informed at least two of its customers that using its Bing search index - a map of the internet that can be scanned in real-time - to feed their AI chat tool violates the terms of their contracts, the news agency said, citing people familiar with the dispute.
Microsoft, based in Redmond, Washington, could also end the license giving access to its search index, Bloomberg added.
