For more than two decades, giant companies based in the US and China have dominated data-driven services. Today many of those same data giants including Google, Meta, and Microsoft, control much of the world’s development and deployment of AI. These companies are getting ever bigger and more powerful at the very time that AI has become ubiquitous. In a provocative new piece in Time, Asad Ramanzali argues that it is in America’s interest to break up these companies. But US antitrust policy is out of date and insufficient to meet the market challenges of the AI age. Moreover, Congress is often gridlocked and hence, unlikely to approve new antitrust laws. How can we ensure that US AI markets are equitable, efficient, and secure? Will these companies be more innovative and trustworthy if they face more competition?
