Opened consultation on partnerships between Amazon and Anthropic

On 24 April 2024, the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) opened a public consultation on its assessment of the partnership between Amazon and Anthropic until 9 May 2024. In particular, the CMA seeks views on whether the partnership and other arrangements may result in the creation of relevant merger situations and the potential impact of these deals on competition in the UK. The consultation follows the report published by the CMA on 11 April 2024 on competition in the markets for AI Foundation Models, specifically concerns that partnerships involving key players could exacerbate existing market power positions through the Foundation Models' value chain.
