U.K. antitrust officials said Amazon.com's multibillion-dollar investment in artificial-intelligence company Anthropic didn't qualify for a formal investigation, a win for U.S. Big Tech weeks after Microsoft was also spared a probe over its links to Inflection AI.
The U.K's Competition and Markets Authority launched a probe in August to determine whether Amazon's $4 billion investment in Anthropic posed a threat to competition in the country. Officials have now concluded that isn't the case and said they wouldn't open a formal investigation.
