Anthropic confirms it suffered a data leak


As the FTC investigates its partnerships with Amazon and Google, Anthropic has learned that it was the victim of a third-party data breach.

The finding came just before the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the U.S. agency in charge of regulating market competition, announced it was investigating Anthropic’s strategic partnerships with Amazon and Google — as well as those of rival OpenAI with its backer Microsoft. “We’re scrutinizing whether these ties enable dominant firms to exert undue influence or gain privileged access in ways that could undermine fair competition,” Lina Khan, FTC chair said at an AI forum on Thursday. “We have tremendous respect for Anthropic’s team and foundation models, and believe we can help improve many customer experiences, short and long-term, through our deeper collaboration,” Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said in a statement announcing the companies’ extended partnership.
