The U.K.'s CMA is examining if partnerships between tech giants and AI startups bypass merger regulations and affect the competition landscape in the country.
Microsoft's ties with OpenAI and Inflection AI, as well as Amazon's investment in Anthropic, are under scrutiny for potential competition implications in the AI industry.
CMA is evaluating if these partnerships could be considered quasi-mergers, impacting various sectors like healthcare, energy, and finance with foundational AI models.
Joel Bamford from CMA highlighted the significance of foundation models in transforming industries and emphasized the need for fair competition in the fast-growing AI sector.
