Taking Heed of AI Contracts

Duane Morris partner Neville M. Bilimoria authored the McKnight’s Long-Term Care article, “AI is everywhere! Addressing the legal risks through contracting.”

Mr. Bilimoria writes:

U.S. Antitrust Draft Guidelines Address Using AI in Mergers

On July 19, 2023, the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) jointly released draft Merger Guidelines to amend and update both the 2010 Horizontal Merger Guidelines and the Vertical Merger Guidelines that were issued in 2020 and later rescinded by the FTC in 2021.

They target large platform providers, as well as mergers that might entrench or extend a dominant position (suggesting that a 30 percent share implies a dominant position). The draft guidelines focus on multisided platforms and competition between platforms, on the platform and to displace a platform. The agencies also specifically reference the use of algorithms and artificial intelligence in assessing potential post-merger coordination. Read the full Alert on the Duane Morris website.
