A whistleblower has filed a complaint alleging that Amazon's $400 million license deal with Covariant AI is a disguised acquisition that should face antitrust scrutiny. The complaint claims Amazon structured the deal to evade regulatory oversight, effectively turning Covariant into a "zombie" company with limited market potential. The case has raised concerns about Big Tech's methods of consolidating power and stifling competition in the AI sector, prompting investigations from U.S. regulators.
