AWS boss explains why investing billions in both Anthropic and OpenAI is an OK conflict

AWS CEO Matt Garman said Amazon’s recent $50 billion investment in OpenAI, after its long partnership including $8 billion of investment in Anthropic, is the type of conflict of interest the cloud giant is used to handling.

Garman has worked at Amazon since he was a business school intern in 2005, before the launch of AWS in 2006, he told the audience of the HumanX conference taking place this week in San Francisco.
