The U.K.'s Competition and Markets Authority is investigating Google and Anthropic's partnership to assess potential competition impact, highlighting growing scrutiny of big tech collaborations.
The CMA's interest in the merger is aimed at determining whether it leads to a substantial lessening of competition in U.K. markets, which could affect consumers.
Despite the partnership with Google, Anthropic emphasizes its independence in governance and freedom, asserting that collaboration does not hinder its commitment to public benefit.
Google expresses its dedication to maintaining an open AI ecosystem, ensuring that Anthropic, as an independent entity, can partner with various cloud providers.
