Google antitrust case and generative AI in The Capitol Forum

[Google antitrust case and generative AI in The Capitol Forum]

Sacha Sloan interviewed me for The Capitol Forum’s coverage of Penske Media Corporation’s antitrust lawsuit against Google, a case that highlights the emerging intersection between antitrust law and generative AI.

Penske’s complaint builds on Judge Amit Mehta’s ruling finding Google’s monopoly in general search services illegal. While earlier disputes like The Authors Guild v. Google focused on copyright and fair use, Penske introduces an antitrust lens, linking content use to competitive exclusion in AI-driven search, a frontier that courts have yet to fully test.

By grounding its arguments in established antitrust precedent, the case could signal a new wave of “AI-enabled market power” claims that redefine how innovation, competition, and data intersect in the digital economy.
