This course addresses a vital question of law and policy today: how competition and closely related laws (of intellectual property) do and should apply to the digital economy’s business models, practices, and emerging technologies--principally big data, LLMs, and generative AI. Roughly two-thirds of the course will take up the application of American antitrust law to both the giants of the digital economy (Google, Meta/Facebook, Amazon, Apple) and emerging data- and AI-based business models, with the remaining third devoted to analysis of intellectual property laws as applied to data and AI-based processes and outputs.
