Competition authorities were too slow to stop tech giants from dominating Web 2.0. They can’t repeat that mistake with AI
When a company triples in value in just a few months, as computer chip company Nvidia has, investors take notice. But regulators do too, because they know from experience how monopolies engage in illegal anti-competitive behavior that squashes competitors and manipulates the market to expand their dominance.
