Below is a post by valued guest contributor, Ai Deng, PhD. of Bates White Economic Consulting.
*****************************
In a new article I published in Law360 last week, I discussed the following four reasons why the scope of colluding algorithms, even if they are technologically possible, could be limited:
- Algorithmic asymmetry
- Robust compliance
- Observable collusive outcomes
- Risk of class actions
The paper is titled “Four Reasons We May Not See Colluding Robots Anytime Soon” and is available here. If you do not have a subscription to Law360 but would like to have a copy, please feel free to email me at [email protected]
As always, I appreciate your thoughts and comments. You can reach me at the email above or connect with me on LinkedIn [here].
Thanks for reading.
