In response to the continued growth of artificial intelligence technology in recent years, more and more companies are investing in the design of artificial intelligence technology applications, including the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the European Commission, and the UK Competition and Markets Authority.reach consensus, will ensure that artificial intelligence technology maintains positive competition and treats general consumers in a fair and honest manner under their respective legal basis.
In a joint statement, the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the European Commission and the UK Competition and Markets Authority expressed their welcome for technological singularity to promote market competition and drive greater development, innovation and growth opportunities, and also hoped that the public would fully benefit from it.
Therefore, in the future, with regard to the development of artificial intelligence technology, regional regulatory agencies will ensure that there is no malicious exclusion among major competing companies, and ensure interactivity and selectivity, which will serve as the main basis for determining whether there is a violation of market competition. In addition, other factors will be referred to to determine whether the industry is involved in monopoly.
Transactions between major players in the market are also used to determine whether they affect competition. Even though many transactions avoid market monopoly or imbalance in competition, regulators around the world believe that some investments, acquisitions and other transactions may affect the fairness of market competition. For example, Microsoft's previous investment in OpenAI has caused many EU regulators to question whether it may affect market competition. In addition, situations such as controlling and supplying dedicated chips, or providing large-scale computing resources, or large-scale data and professional technology may also be deemed to affect the fairness of market competition.
At the same time, regulators also emphasized their concern about the impact of the development of artificial intelligence technology on the general consumer market. For example, artificial intelligence technology companies may obtain consumers' personal privacy through various deceptive methods, thereby affecting the security of consumers' identity information. The models used for artificial intelligence model training may also lead to the leakage of a large amount of sensitive data, and even make artificial intelligence technology unable to be used fairly by all consumers.
However, due to differences in AI-related laws across regions, even if regulators jointly declare how they will view the development of AI technology in various regions, it will still be difficult to clearly explain how the regulatory effect will be achieved. However, at least it will enable businesses currently investing in AI development to know the general principles they should abide by.
