The Impact of AI on Antitrust Enforcement and Liability *
Antitrust enforcement agencies and private plaintiffs are gearing up to challenge allegedly anticompetitive applications of artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Much attention is focusing on the use of algorithms to promote collusion and raise prices. Concerns are also being expressed about potential anticompetitive mergers involving AI assets (cloud computing in particular) and the misuse of AI by digital platforms to obtain or strengthen monopolies. Our expert speakers will give in-house big tech perspectives on the challenges ahead; provide insights on the thinking of US antitrust enforcers; and provide a big-picture Capitol Hill perspective on potential congressional action that may lie ahead.
