The AI Policy Minute: Big Tech Antitrust Scrutiny Jeff Dufour, Editor in Chief, and Philip Athey, Technology Policy Editor, break down some highlights from our latest PolicyView: AI report. This edition explores the intricate web of AI partnerships and the intensifying scrutiny from antitrust regulators. Key Points: 🔹 Big Tech's AI Acquisitions: The practice of "acquihiring" by tech giants like Amazon and Microsoft has raised concerns. Lawmakers and antitrust experts warn that these moves could entrench the dominant firms and potentially harm consumers. 🔹 FTC and DOJ Investigations: The Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice are stepping up efforts to investigate the entanglements of AI companies. This includes a formal inquiry into Amazon's hiring practices and Microsoft's relinquishment of its board seat at OpenAI amidst regulatory pressures. 🔹 International Antitrust Actions: The UK and EU are also scrutinizing AI acquisitions and partnerships, indicating a global effort to prevent monopolistic practices in the AI industry. 🔹 Impact on AI Regulation: These antitrust actions could significantly impact how AI is regulated, with potential implications for the flexibility of agencies like the FTC in overseeing AI-related activities. 🔹 Industry Response: The AI industry is responding to these regulatory challenges, navigating the complex landscape while maintaining their competitive edge. Explore these developments and more in our July 19 edition of PolicyView: AI. 👇 You can request the report through the link in our comments. #AI #AIPolicy #TechPolicy #AIRegulation #Antitrust #Innovation

Incredibly proud of the entire National Journal team for its full-court coverage of the RNC last week. Our Convention Daily team had a crew of five journalists on the group working with the folks back at the D.C. mother ship to bring our readers out to the floor. Our team wrote nearly 40 stories in five days, exponentially grew our social media impressions, and hosted daily live webinars. Readership on our site spiked, and our newsletter reached thousands of inboxes. So proud of the months of work leading up to last week, and looking forward to improving our coverage in Chicago!
