Xavier Niel, chairman of the Iliad group said:
“When a tech revolution erupts we want to be part of it. 25 years ago, the revolution was internet – and we were there. Today, it’s artificial intelligence – and we’re making sure we’re there for that too.”
Iliad Group’s investment is one of the latest big money flowing into the AI ecosystem. On Monday, BeInCrypto reported that the tech giant Amazon plans to invest $4 billion in the AI startup Anthropic, responsible for the Claude chatbot, a rival to ChatGPT.
Venture capital company SoftBank has been going on the offensive with AI investments. And last week, BeInCrypto reported that SoftBank is leading a $280 million investment round for US-based location mapping company Mapbox.
Also, Australia’s largest pension fund, AustralianSuper, has invested $1.6 billion into Vantage Data Centers, which supports the AI infrastructure.
