AI + Antitrust Issues

9:00 am PDT // 12:00 pm EDT // 5:00 pm BST // 6:00 pm CEST

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to transform industries and reshape global markets, antitrust regulators in the US, European Union and UK are sharpening their focus on how its development and deployment may affect competition. In the wake of recent elections and broader political shifts, enforcement priorities are entering a new phase – one marked by closer scrutiny of how AI is influencing market structure, business conduct and strategic alignment.

This session will examine how evolving political climates are shaping enforcement agendas across key jurisdictions and how regulators are assessing partnerships, acquisitions and commercialization strategies through an AI lens. We’ll explore current agency approaches to issues such as competitive entrenchment, strategic dependencies and vertical integration – and what this means for deal planning, regulatory risk and cross-border expansion. Attendees will gain insights into how to proactively navigate this complex, rapidly changing landscape.
