UK competition regulator clears Amazon’s $4 billion AI partnership with Anthropic

The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has given the green light to Amazon’s $4 billion partnership with artificial intelligence startup Anthropic. The decision, announced on Friday, comes after the watchdog determined that the deal did not qualify for further scrutiny under Britain’s merger regulations.
The CMA found that Anthropic’s revenue and its combined market share with Amazon in Britain were not substantial enough to warrant an in-depth investigation.
