  1. Google’s Major Investment: Alphabet’s Google has committed to investing up to $2 billion in the artificial intelligence company Anthropic, marking a substantial boost in its support for the startup. Google has already invested $500 million upfront, with an agreement to add an additional $1.5 billion over time.
  2. Competition with Microsoft and Amazon: This significant investment signals Google’s determination to compete more effectively with Microsoft, a major supporter of OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT. Big Tech companies are in a race to integrate AI into their applications. Amazon has also joined this race, announcing last month that it would invest up to $4 billion in Anthropic to bolster its AI capabilities.
