The tech industry is witnessing an escalating battle among three cloud giants: Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, as they invest in and vie for supremacy in generative AI. Amazon recently made a $4 billion investment in Anthropic, a San Francisco-based startup known for its Claude 2 generative AI chatbot, challenging the dominance of OpenAI and its ChatGPT. Microsoft kickstarted this trend in 2019 with its investment in OpenAI, while Google followed with a $300 million investment in Anthropic in 2023. This competition is not merely about financial investments, but a contest to offer their customers the latest and most advanced AI technologies. The cloud has become the bedrock of this competition, as individuals and companies generate and rely on vast amounts of data.
