The CMA analyzed Google's partnership with Anthropic, concluding that Google does not have the ability to influence Anthropic’s commercial policies, not qualifying for merger investigation.
Joel Bamford from CMA emphasized that their investigation clarified that the partnership does not meet the jurisdictional threshold for merger control under UK law.
Concerns remain about the market dominance of tech giants like Google and Amazon potentially stifling competition in the foundational model sector, according to the CMA.
Despite fears of anti-competitive practices in the market, the CMA's findings suggest that key partnerships in AI do not necessarily lead to material influence or monopoly.
