Amazon in Talks to Invest in OpenAI
Amazon is reportedly in early discussions to invest up to $50 billion in artificial intelligence company OpenAI, as part of a potential large funding round. The talks are not final, and no agreement has been announced so far.
Early-Stage Discussions
People familiar with the matter say the discussions are preliminary and could change in size or structure. If completed, the investment would be one of the largest ever in the artificial intelligence sector and would significantly deepen ties between Amazon and OpenAI.
Possible Strategic Angle
The talks are seen as part of growing competition among major technology companies to secure access to advanced AI models and infrastructure. Any deal could involve closer collaboration on cloud computing and AI services, though specific terms have not been disclosed.
No Confirmation Yet
Neither Amazon nor OpenAI has publicly confirmed the talks. Both companies have previously said they continue to explore partnerships and investments to support long-term AI development and scaling.
The discussions come as global tech firms race to strengthen their positions in generative AI amid rapidly rising demand.
