Qatar Sovereign Fund expands its bet on artificial intelligence from via "anthropic"
When Anthropic looked at additional funding to support his efforts to develop artificial intelligence models, she used a well -known network of adventurous capital investors. But it also opened the door for a source of financing she previously ignored: Sovereign Wealth Funds in the Middle East. ‘Anthropic’ has announced that the Qatar Investment Authority has become a ‘big’ investor in a $ 13 billion financing round, which ranked the company at $ 183 billion. This places the Qatari Wealth Fund with names such as “Amazon.com” and “Goldman Sachs”, along with a large number of prominent adventurous capital companies, and pushes Qatar to the race of artificial intelligence offerings with its golf neighbors with major financial capabilities. The Qatar Investment Authority praised the ‘anthropic’ company for its ingenuity in the automation of coding and its applications in the business sector. “The company has certainly found its position in the institutional sector,” Mohamed Al-Hardan, head of the technology, media and communications sector in the $ 524 billion fund, said in an interview. This financing tour is a turning point for ‘anthropical’, which offers itself as the most responsibility in the field of artificial intelligence. CEO Dario Amani has long expressed concern about granting authoritarian systems the right to achieve advanced artificial intelligence models, and for this reason the Middle East funds were not part of the previous financing rounds. But Amani looked softer before the last financing round and emphasized the importance of major financial resources in the region. The competitive companies have already preceded this trend; “Mgx” in Abu Dhabi invested with ‘Oben Ai’ last year and contributed to the ‘Stargate’ infrastructure project for the ‘Chat GBT’ developer, while the company “Xai” of Elon Master funding of the Qatar Investment authority, “Mgx” and “Kingdom Hold” Sudi Arabia. The Qatar Investment Authority was the only wave investor in a list of more than 20 investors unveiled by “Anthropic” on Tuesday. The agreement indicates the desire of Doha to pump more powerful money into this sector, and restore its position to a setback to which it is exposed to the bankruptcy of “Builder.ai”. The fund aims to invest half a trillion dollars in the United States during the next decade, and utilize the growing gas revenue, which increases its presence in the Silicon Valley. Al -Hardan said that ‘anthropically’ is only one of the many emerging artificial intelligence transactions. Although the device has not led the last round, it can do so in future offers, either by financing the early phases or when businesses approach the public offering. Al -helhan added: “You will see everything. This includes planned chips and media, as well as the continuous expansion in China. From symbolic assets to technology, the Qatar Investment Authority was established in 2005 to manage the country’s abundant income of liquid natural gas, and soon obtained a reputation as a fund that loves the” symbolic “assets. New market, sector or region, follows others. Fund becomes the third largest shareholder in “China ASEet Manager”. An example of this: the device’s bet in 2023 on “Builder.AI”, a UK company that promised to develop applications without the need for coding. Two years later, the agency discovered sales. According to ‘Bloomberg News’, a seat in the board of directors has occupied and discovered the financial problem. investing a “big check” in 2023 with DataBrics Inc. software, which was recently evaluated with more than $ 100 billion. It provides technologies for cars and self -driving. Golf “and seduces major international investors. As for the prominent investment of the device in the company” Xai “, it only took place late last year when he participated in a $ 6 billion financing tour, partly due to Musk’s arrival in data from its social network and ‘Tesla’ company. The device also previously supported the company ‘X’ and the company ‘Neuralink. -Suwaidi, will be an extra strength, while the fund concludes more transactions in the United States. Profit roads will take. “Each of these companies will develop in a different way.”
