Have you also been totally immersed in discussions about competition law and economics of digital markets and artificial intelligence, more narrowly, issues relating to fairness and consumer welfare in those contexts?
The intersection of fairness and competition law has noted a revival with added focus on digital markets and tech giants in the EU through the enactment of e.g. Digital Markets Act and a range of ongoing investigations against e.g. Apple and Google.
The conference thus seeks to explore the implication of fairness as a competition law and regulatory concept applied to e.g. digital and AI markets, focusing on the normative implications for enforcement of competition law and regulatory tools such as the Digital Markets Act and the EU AI Act in digital and algorithmic markets.
The conference also involves selected presentations from leading and emerging Nordic and European scholars relate to the European regulation and intervention in the digital economy, with a particular interest in the normative justification and practical implications of specific measures (e.g., DSA, DMA, AI Act) and the interconnection between fairness, efficiency and consumer welfare regarding competition law and economics of digital and AI markets.
The conference is organized by Behrang Kianzad and Johan Axhamn at LUSEM and Fabrizio Espostio of Nova Law School, Lisbon, in collaboration with ACLU. The conference is made possible by generous grants by Center for European Studies at Lund University, AI Lund as well as Riksbankens Jubileumsfond and Johan & Jakob Söderbergs Stiftelse.
