Amazon.com Inc. is set to invest up to $4 billion in Anthropic, a startup specializing in generative artificial intelligence (AI). This investment will enable Amazon to become a major player in the field of generative AI, and will grant Anthropic access to Amazon’s extensive computing infrastructure. Amazon will hold a minority position in Anthropic, and the investment represents a notable development for Amazon, as it typically avoids large-scale acquisitions in favor of developing proprietary technology. This collaboration highlights the growing significance of AI in shaping the future of technology and business operations.
