Salesforce CEO details Anthropic investments and AI strategy
Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff says the company put over $300 million into Anthropic, after first being blocked from working with OpenAI due to Microsoft's ties. Benioff claims this bet could return tens of billions if Anthropic goes public. Anthropic’s Claude chatbot is now built into Salesforce Slack, making it the default AI for many sales tasks. Benioff also sees future AI interfaces becoming more adaptive and proactive for users.
