Investigation of Antitrust Regulations and Artificial Intelligence
WilmerHale's Antitrust team is set to host the eighth session of its informative webinar series, The Quick Look, which delves into the latest antitrust issues related to artificial intelligence (AI) and their implications for 2025 and beyond.
The upcoming webinar, scheduled for a future date, will not only feature insights from WilmerHale Partners, Counsel, and Associates, but will also encourage online contributions from participants. This interactive approach aims to foster a collaborative environment where diverse perspectives can be shared and discussed.
The session will cover a range of topics, including the evolving views of antitrust authorities on AI, recent cases involving allegations of algorithmic collusion, and WilmerHale's strategic and multidisciplinary approach to AI.
Participants in the eighth session of The Quick Look will include Dominic Vote, a Partner at WilmerHale, Arianna Evers, a Counsel, Jonathan Wright, an Associate, and Nancy Stephen, another Associate at the firm.
In addition to the insights on AI-related antitrust issues, the webinar will provide information on CLE credit. CLE credit is pending for the session, making it an excellent opportunity for professionals seeking to expand their knowledge and earn credit simultaneously.
During the webinar, participants will have the chance to contribute questions online, ensuring an engaging and interactive experience.
The eighth session of The Quick Look will focus on antitrust trends and developments in artificial intelligence, addressing the increased scrutiny of AI transactions, the expanded consumer welfare standard in digital markets, the regulatory focus on AI’s competitive impact, and the patchwork of AI regulations affecting antitrust considerations.
These topics highlight the growing complexity of antitrust enforcement in the AI sector, with regulatory bodies paying close attention to how AI-driven innovation, data use, and market dynamics affect competition, consumer welfare, and regulatory compliance.
Stakeholders in AI markets are encouraged to prepare for rigorous government scrutiny and adopt proactive strategies to manage these risks within a rapidly changing legal framework.
