The UK's Competition and Markets Authority declared that Google's $2 billion investment in Anthropic does not grant the company material influence over the AI startup, concluding that further investigation is unnecessary.
Despite concerns about partnerships in AI, the CMA stated that Anthropic, being an independent company, maintains its corporate governance independence despite receiving substantial investments from Google and previously Amazon.
The CMA has previously stated its worry regarding the interconnected nature of AI investments, yet it has allowed Google's investment and a similar $4 billion investment from Amazon in Anthropic to proceed without further investigation.
While the CMA scrutinizes Microsoft’s investment in OpenAI, it has cleared Google and Amazon's stakes in Anthropic, signaling differing treatment of tech companies in the AI sector.
