Antitrust and AI supply chains
- Abstract:
-
Will AI technology disrupt the current Big Tech Barons, foster competition, and ensure future disruptive innovation that improves our wellbeing? Or might the technology help a few ecosystems become even more powerful? To explore this issue, our Article outlines the current digital market dynamics that lead to winner-take-most-or-all ecosystems. After examining the emerging AI foundation model supply chain, we consider several potential antitrust risks that may arise should specific layers become concentrated and firms extend their power across layers. After raising several countervailing factors that might lessen or prevent these antitrust risks, we conclude with suggestions for the policy agenda to promote both healthy competition and innovation in the AI supply chain.
