Session information
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and new frontiers in enforcement
Friday 4 September (1500 - 1630)
Description
To say that AI is a ‘hot topic’ in competition law in 2026 would be an understatement. Agencies are grappling with enforcement relating to AI markets from consolidation and vertical integration to exclusionary abuse conduct and entrenchment of dominance, to algorithmic collusion. This panel will pick on several cutting-edge topics including a focus on the role of AI agents, that is, autonomous and semi-autonomous systems that are increasingly shaping commercial behaviour.
