Concurrences Antitrust Writing Awards Nomination
[Concurrences Antitrust Writing Awards Nomination]
Honored to share that my article, “The Antitrust-Copyright Interface in the Age of Generative AI,” co-authored with Peter K. Yu, has been nominated for the 2026 Antitrust Writing Awards (Intellectual Property).
The article examines how antitrust and copyright law interact as generative AI reshapes markets for creativity, data, and innovation. It argues that this interface has become newly fraught along both technological and ideological dimensions, as access to training data, scale, and licensing practices increasingly determine competitive outcomes in AI markets. At the same time, the piece highlights copyright’s often-overlooked competition policy, including fair use and other internal safeguards, and cautions against premature antitrust intervention that could stifle innovation, upset copyright’s internal balance, and generate unintended global consequences.
I am grateful to Concurrences and the international academic and practitioner community behind the Antitrust Writing Awards for this recognition, and to Penn State Dickinson Law, under the leadership of Dean Danielle Conway, for its continued support of interdisciplinary, policy-engaged scholarship.
And of course, thanks to Peter, without whose encouragement to write the piece and his willingness to co-write it with me, none of this would have been possible.
