About this Event

About this event
The Edinburgh Competition Law and Economics Network is pleased to host Todd Davies for a talk about his working paper, ‘Innovation or Infringement? Generative AI and the Potential for Exclusionary Abuse under Article 102 TFEU’.

Generative AI features are becoming common in online platforms. A host of questions pertaining to fairness, bias, truth, resource use, and economic speculation have been raised as a result. This paper asks what role of competition law can play in mediating these developments, particularly as relating to exclusionary abuse under Article 102 TFEU. Blending a theoretical and case-driven approach, it demonstrates how large internet platforms may infringe competition law by launching generative AI features, and considers how competition authorities could intervene in response.

About this event
Todd Davies is a final year PhD candidate in competition law at University College London. His research examines the theory of exclusionary abuse under Article 102 TFEU, with a focus on the concepts of merit-based competition and effective competitive structure. He holds degrees in computer and political science, and prior to starting his PhD, he worked for six years as a professional software engineer.
