Industry body hits out at CMA following launch of Google, Anthropic merger probe
Briefly

Matthew Sinclair from CCIA has expressed concern that the CMA's investigation will exacerbate uncertainty for businesses, inhibiting collaboration and innovation within the AI sector.
The CMA's inquiry into Alphabet's investment in Anthropic might classify it as a merger, leading to scrutiny over its potential impacts on market competition in the UK.
The growing trend of aggressive regulatory actions against AI firms by the CMA raises questions about the implications for innovation and development within this rapidly evolving technology.
Following a similar investigation into Amazon's substantial investment in Anthropic, the CMA's actions suggest a consistent pattern of probing high-stakes tech mergers that might hinder competitive dynamics.
