Managing Antitrust Risk When Using Artificial Intelligence: A US Perspective

Companies increasingly deploy artificial intelligence (AI) tools and methodologies in their business operations. AI can help corporations create operational efficiencies, enhance customer experiences, optimize business strategies, significantly reduce costs, and increase profitability.

However, using AI tools can also create significant antitrust risks for businesses. Risks include AI’s impact on the accumulation of market power, the access of large tech companies to client data, and the relationships between technology companies and AI startups that can circumvent the merger review process. Companies should be aware of the risks of using AI in their businesses and should take steps to ensure their use of AI complies with US antitrust laws.

Led by Epiq’s global head of antitrust, Erin Toomey, this panel of experts will discuss:
- AI tools currently in use and those that are anticipated, and how these tools will be
operationalized.
- An overview of the US antitrust framework used to evaluate AI.
- Antitrust concerns raised by US government agencies and the actions being
pursued.
- Practical guidance to avoid antitrust exposure when deploying technology and AI
tools.
