Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ: AMZN) will likely benefit the most now that OpenAI has ousted Sam Altman as its Chief Executive, says Alex Kantrowitz – the Founder of Big Technology.
Amazon invested billions in Anthropic
Copy link to sectionIn September, the tech behemoth invested about $4.0 billion in Anthropic to expand its footprint in artificial intelligence. According to Kantrowitz:
Amazon is in a strength position saying anybody can come to us. The CEOs we work with are still in their jobs. I think that’s going to put them in an even stronger position to take the lead.
He did, however, agree that weakness in OpenAI will help several other names as well including Google that’s close to launching its potentially more powerful model dubbed Gemini.
Amazon stock has gained about 20% in less than a month.
