A Database of Antitrust Initiatives Targeting Generative AI - Network Law Review
Antitrust agencies are increasingly interested in generative AI. This can be good news. As Sandy Pentland and I wrote last year (here), the competitive dynamics in this space can be supported by a careful antitrust agenda. While the AI Act should be improved if the EU wants innovation to flourish (see this article), enforcement actions […]

Watching doctors on the BBC saying how dangerous & harmful AI is proving by giving vulnerable people false medical advice. They say it's bad, but AI is here & we must adapt to it. It's as if governments, laws, & regulations don't exist - we've been convinced by tech-bros to be helpless.

Celone et al. on Architecting Candor
Michael Celone (Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)), Sean McGregor, Mosi Secret, Noga Bregman, Bekhzodkhon Alikhanov, and Eduardo Mignot have posted Architecting Candor: Products Liability and AI Incident Knowledge Governance on SSRN. Here is the abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) firms need incident knowledge to improve safety, yet the act of documenting that knowledge can increase litigation risk. As American courts increasingly subject AI systems to products liability, and as the European Union (EU)’s Product Liability Directive expressly classifies software as a “product,” the root-cause analysis necessary to diagnose an incident and remediate the system provides plaintiffs with evidence to establish fault and defective design.
