Amazon may invest $50 billion in OpenAI, signaling a new AI arms race.
According to TechCrunch, Amazon is reportedly in discussions to invest up to $50 billion in OpenAI, the developer behind ChatGPT. The deal, still under negotiation, would position Amazon alongside Microsoft as a major backer of the company. Notably, Amazon already supports Anthropic, suggesting a multi-pronged strategy to secure dominance in foundational AI models. If completed, the investment would be one of the largest in tech history.
Such a move would intensify the competitive landscape in AI, with cloud giants vying for influence over leading research labs.
