Google Prepares IDR 31.8 Trillion Investment To AI Company, Anthropic

JAKARTA - Google has agreed to invest up to USD 2 billion (IDR 31.8 trillion) in an artificial intelligence company called Anthropic. In the early stages, Google has injected USD 500 million (IDR 7.9 trillion) into the company, and they are also committed to adding an investment of USD 1.5 billion (IDR 23.8 trillion) within a certain period of time.

Anthropic is a competitor to OpenAI, known as the creator of ChatGPT. Google's decision to increase its investment in Anthropic marks the efforts of big tech companies to be more competitive with Microsoft, which is one of OpenAI's main supporters. Currently, big tech companies are competing tightly in utilizing artificial intelligence in their various applications.

In addition to Google, Amazon also announced investment in Anthropic of up to $4 billion some time ago as part of their strategy to compete in the realm of artificial intelligence and cloud technology.

Anthropic, founded by former OpenAI executives, Dario and Daniela Amodei, continues to strive to secure the resources and financial support needed to compete with OpenAI and become leaders in this fast-growing technology industry.

To date, Google has shown a strong interest in investing in artificial intelligence companies, and this reflects the push of big tech companies to continue to expand their portfolio and presence in the sector.

Google has not commented on this news, while Amazon has not yet responded to requests for comment from the media. These two companies, along with other technology companies, continue to compete in obtaining partnerships with artificial intelligence companies to replace the face of the rapidly growing technology industry.
