The UK's Competition and Markets Authority initiated a probe into Google's $2 billion stake in Anthropic, suggesting a trend of careful scrutiny over major tech investments.
Scott Bickley noted the CMA's investigation appears precautionary, especially after they just approved Amazon's stake in Anthropic, suggesting similar treatment for all major players.
He highlighted that both Microsoft and Google are under the CMA's scrutiny regarding their partnerships with AI initiatives, a trend aligning with ongoing regulatory efforts.
The CMA stated they possess "sufficient information" to commence this preliminary investigation on Google's investment, indicating serious concerns about regulatory compliance.
