[00:00:16] [SPEAKER_00] Here's your morning TNB Tech Minute for Wednesday, June 3rd. I'm Danny Lewis for The Wall Street Journal. Anthropic is formalizing a program for third-party sellers of its clawed AI products to help show business readiness as it heads towards an initial public offering. The company announced the Clawed Partner Network earlier this year to help bulk up its enterprise sales strategy and is officially launching with about 100 members, including firms like Accenture and Cognizant.
[00:00:43] [SPEAKER_00] Firms must meet a slate of requirements in order to become part of the program, such as certifying a minimum number of people to use Anthropic products in a proctored exam and meeting its bar for deploying Clawed responsibly. AI market research platform AlphaSense has raised a fresh funding round, valuing the firm at $7.5 billion ahead of potentially going public. The company has raised $350 million from investors including private equity firm Vitruvian Partners
[00:01:09] [SPEAKER_00] and Accenture's Venture Arm, as well as J.P. Morgan's Asset Management Unit and Goldman Sachs Alternatives. CEO Jack Coco says the company surpassed $600 million in annual recurring revenue in the first three months of the year. Coco says he views an IPO as a possibility, but hasn't committed to a specific timeline. And UK antitrust regulators said they would allow publishers to opt out of feeding their content to power Google Search's AI tools.
[00:01:37] [SPEAKER_00] The Competition and Markets Authority says the move will give publishers control over how their content is used by AI and put them in a stronger position to negotiate with Google. In a blog post, the general manager of Google's search ecosystem said the company is listening to publishers and engaging with the CMA. The post said Google is starting to test a tool to let website owners manage how their content appears in AI search features. That's your TNB Tech Minute. Join us again this afternoon for more.
