The Department of Justice is reportedly deepening its probe into Nvidia. Officials have moved on from merely questioning competitors to subpoenaing Nvidia and other tech companies for evidence that could substantiate allegations that Nvidia is abusing its "dominant position in AI computing," Bloomberg reported.

When news of the DOJ's probe into the trillion-dollar company was first reported in June, Fast Company reported that scrutiny was intensifying merely because Nvidia was estimated to control "as much as 90 percent of the market for chips" capable of powering AI models. Experts told Fast Company that the DOJ probe might even be good for Nvidia's business, noting that the market barely moved when the probe was first announced.
