An­titrust law

TagLast edit: 22 Jul 2022 20:51 UTC by Leo

Antitrust law (often called competition law outside the US) is the body of law intended to prevent monopolization and cartelization of commercial markets.

Antitrust is particularly relevant to AI governance, as it may in some cases constrain safety cooperation between competitors.
