US Antitrust Policy Targets AI Development

Published on 4.23.25

  The US government's "America First" antitrust policy is set to have far-reaching implications for the development and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. As part of this policy, regulators are expected to focus on labor markets and AI, with a particular emphasis on emerging technologies like OpenAI's chatbot technology. OpenAI's head of product for ChatGPT, Nick Turley, recently testified in a DOJ antitrust trial that the company is facing issues with its current search provider, which has affected its chatbot technology. This highlights the critical role that search technology plays in AI development, particularly for companies like OpenAI that aim to create "super assistant" apps. The Biden administration's trends are expected to be maintained under this new framework, which may lead to increased scrutiny of non-compete agreements in the context of emerging technologies like AI. Perkins Coie attorneys Shylah Alfonso and Christopher Williams note that businesses should proactively review these areas due to their potential impact on federal and state antitrust enforcers. This increased scrutiny is likely to have significant implications for companies like OpenAI, which rely heavily on search technology to power their chatbots. Top regulators are emphasizing the need for continued vigilance in labor markets and AI, underscoring the importance of addressing these issues under the new policy framework.
