San Francisco, USA: October 30, 2023: Google has agreed to invest $2 billion in Anthropic, an artificial intelligence startup founded by former OpenAI engineers. The investment is seen as a sign of Google’s commitment to artificial intelligence research and development.1
Anthropic is an independent artificial intelligence research and development company. It was founded in 2021 by former OpenAI engineers, including Dario Amodei, who was OpenAI’s vice president of research.
Although Google has invested $2 billion in Anthropic, it would remain independent. This means that Anthropic is free to develop its own technology and pursue its own mission without Google’s interference.
Google’s investment in Anthropic is a sign of the company’s commitment to artificial intelligence research and development. It is also a sign that Google believes in Anthropic’s vision for more safe and reliable artificial intelligence.
The company is developing a new generation of artificial intelligence systems designed to be more safe and reliable than existing systems. It is also working on new ways to align artificial intelligence with human values.
Google’s investment in Pioneering AI is seen as a sign of Google’s seriousness about artificial intelligence and its commitment to investing in the development of new technologies.
It also shows Google’s willingness to invest in startups, even those that are developing technologies that could potentially compete with Google’s own AI products and services, like Bard.
