UK starts probe into Amazon's AI partnership with Anthropic

The UK's competition watchdog, the CMA, has initiated an investigation into the collaboration between Amazon and AI startup Anthropic, focusing on potential competition concerns. Amazon has stated that its partnership with Anthropic does not meet the CMA's threshold for review and does not raise any competition worries. Anthropic also clarified that Amazon has no decision-making power or board seat at the company, maintaining its independence to work with other providers. This investigation comes shortly after the CMA launched a similar probe into Alphabet's partnership with Anthropic. Regulators worldwide have been scrutinizing deals between tech giants and smaller startups to ensure fair competition.
