Artificial Intelligence Ecosystem is Growing
The release of the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT by OpenAI has gained significant popularity globally in a very short period of time, which has put artificial intelligence technologies back in the spotlight. During this process, technology companies such as Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft, have also started to conduct intensive research and investments in artificial intelligence technologies.
As research and investments in artificial intelligence technologies continue to accelerate, Google has made a new investment in an artificial intelligence initiative called Anthropic, following Amazon’s footsteps.
Google’s $2 Billion Investment in Artificial Intelligence
E-commerce giant Amazon made a strategic investment in the artificial intelligence initiative Anthropic in late September. According to the news announced to the public regarding Amazon’s strategic investment, it was stated that Amazon would initially invest $1.25 billion in Anthropic and could increase its investment up to $4 billion in the future.
Following Amazon’s investment in September, Google took a similar step. According to The Wall Street Journal, Google has invested $2 billion in Anthropic.
According to the report, Google will initially invest $500 million in the artificial intelligence initiative Anthropic. However, in the future, it will make an additional $1.5 billion investment, raising the total investment to $2 billion.
