July 2024, Opinion: "The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Department of Justice (DOJ) are currently investigating whether certain transactions and collaborations between artificial intelligence (AI) companies and others violate antitrust laws. Such investigations are warranted. As a nation, we should be concerned that not only is the development of cutting-edge frontier models controlled by a handful of companies, but also that AI is adjacent to, and dependent on, already concentrated markets, such as cloud platforms and high-powered microchips. We should want AI to grow in a competitive environment."
