Why UK is not happy with ‘Google’s AI partnership

UK’s competition watchdog, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) may be planning to investigate Google parent Alphabet’s partnership with AI startup Anthropic. The regulator is reportedly concerned about the deal’s potential impact on competition.
According to a report by the news agency Reuters, Microsoft’s partnerships with OpenAI, Inflection AI, and Mistral AI as well as Alphabet’s ties to other smaller companies such as Anthropic and Cohere, are also under the microscope.
