(TNS) \u2014 A Michigan pension fund is accusing Microsoft of hyping up its artificial intelligence products and inflating its stock price last year, before a sharp drop in January.<\/p>\n
The stock price’s steep drop in January \u2014 and the continued decline over the months that followed \u2014 is the crux of the lawsuit. Lawyers for the plaintiffs wrote that Microsoft engaged in a scheme to deceive the market” and artificially inflated the stock price before its fall this year.<\/p>\n
