Brattle Analyst Examines Antitrust Standards in the Age of AI in Recent Article
Published in ABA's Amplify
Increased adoption of generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, has raised questions about how generative AI will impact the technology landscape, competition among firms, and ongoing debates about antitrust policy standards.
In a recent article published in the American Bar Association’s Amplify, Brattle Senior Research Analyst Ryan Chapman examines how generative AI will likely further complicate challenges US antitrust authorities face in the technology sector. He details the ways in which generative AI may be used as a tool for anticompetitive behavior, outlines potential competition concerns amongst model developers, and discusses whether the consumer welfare standard – long a cornerstone of antitrust policy – can adequately address potential harms.
