On 19 September, DG COMP published their third Competition Policy
Brief so far this year on ‘Competition in Generative AI and Virtual Worlds’ (‘the
brief’). The brief looks at emerging trends and
current market dynamics in these technologies, and suggests preliminary
elements for the analysis of cases, such as possible barriers to entry,
theories of harm and efficiency gains
In particular, the brief considers what types of
anticompetitive concerns may emerge and the different tools to address them,
including antitrust enforcement, merger control as well as the DMA.
Already welcomed by the competition law
community for its wide coverage, the brief summarises
the Commission’s current thinking on these subjects, building on responses by
stakeholders to its call for contributions, studies and inquiries by
competition authorities and multiple expert reports.
Join Cristina Volpin for the first in-person / webinar 'Chatham House rule' presentation and detailed discussion
(incl. Q&As) of the some of the most topical antitrust
law issues analysed in the brief,
including what is already on DG COMP’s radar (for ex., agreements to pre-install Gen AI models,
reverse killer acquisitions and “acqui-hires”).
