New Antitrust Antidote: Apple case moves ahead; per se tying theory on Hermès doesn’t fly; alleged algorithmic/benchmarking collusion suits stumble on pleadings... All you need to know about recent U.S. antitrust cases is here: www.networklawreview.org/antidote-7/
In this piece for Times Higher Education, I suggest a few simple experiments that any professor can run to see how GenAI impacts their own students. I hope this proves useful to some of you. www.timeshighereducation.com/campus/how-t...

Interesting one. Market power persistence isn’t about lax antitrust enforcement. It’s the technology + learning dynamics that give certain cohorts lasting dominance.

Here are @profschrepel.bsky.social’s monthly reading suggestions: DMA & EU users, killer acquisitions, auditable AI, AI Act political economy, GenAI & democracy, AI agents in econ, adaptive regulation + a special issue on law, tech & econ of AI: www.networklawreview.org/september-20...
New essay out.
The AI Act multiplies review clauses, delegated acts, monitoring obligations. But it lacks true adaptive capacity. In complexity science terms, the EU has built “sensors without reflexes.”
I hope this resonates with colleagues working on AI governance.

The EU says its AI rules are “future proof.” They’re not, @profschrepel.bsky.social argues. Without adaptive regulation (modular rules, real-time monitoring, plural triggers, institutional memory) Brussels (and others!) will always be behind the curve. www.networklawreview.org/schrepel-fut...

How to test GenAI’s impact on learning
Rather than speculate on GenAI’s promise or peril, Thibault Schrepel suggests simple teaching experiments to uncover its actual effects

In my op-ed for Les Échos, I explain why the myth of “future-proof” regulation is doomed to fail, and why it is urgent to establish distributed revision mechanisms and real-time supervision.

NEW OP-ED. AI evolves every week. European regulations, every few years. The result: a widening gap between the speed of innovation and the slowness of legislation.
Let me say it as it is: the newly launched Amsterdam Center for Digital Competition has secured the best acronym I’ve seen for a center: ACDC. This is close to genius. I am delighted to have been invited to it to give a talk on #computationalantitrust later today. More to come!
NEW #computationalantitrust paper.
Using computational text analysis, Sean Norick Long (@georgetownlaw.bsky.social) shows how Lina Khan reshaped antitrust beyond consumer welfare toward workers, power, and a more moralized public debate.

For the first time, I recorded a solo episode of #ScalingTheory. I take a deep dive into adaptive regulation; why “future-proof” laws fall short, and how we can build rules that truly evolve with technology. I hope you'll enjoy the format.
New episode of the #computationalantitrust podcast. I talked with @nancyscola.bsky.social about the interplay between computational antitrust and antitrust reporting. Nancy had so many great insights. I very much enjoyed recording it, and I hope you'll enjoy listening to it.
Here is a summary of the #computationalantitrust event at the @oecd-ocde.bsky.social.
In a word: computational antitrust is here! At the OECD, agencies shared how they’re building tools, infrastructures & teams to enforce law with code. The frontier isn’t adoption, it’s integration!

3/3 — 2. Measurement. Performance can be tracked with incredible accuracy. Progress is observable, results aren’t relative, data gives you the unvarnished truth. It’s a profoundly humbling and fun experience.
In short: if you can, start running!

2/3 — 1. Independence. Your results don’t depend on anyone else. There are no tenure or grant committees, no peer reviewers, no external gatekeepers deciding whether your efforts are good enough or whether to award you something.
1/3 — I ran a 10-mile race this weekend in the middle of my Frankfurt marathon prep (in about 1h03, anticipating the question). It reminded me of two reasons (among many) why I love running so much as an academic:

NEW article by Nuno Cunha Rodrigues, President of Portuguese Competition Authority.
He argues that AI disruption demands a new regulatory ecosystem where competition law works hand in hand with other public policies www.networklawreview.org/cunha-rodrig...

Heading to Paris (Université Paris II) to present my paper “Adaptive Regulation” for the first time (papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....) at a conference co-organized by the amazing Godefroy de Boiscuillé. The program (fondation.assas-universite.fr/fr/evenement...) looks outstanding. Join us.
The all project is centralized papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers..... In the words of Sowell, the Commission (and Draghi) is constantly promoting an « unconstrained vision » piloted by a few.
Adaptive Regulation
What is adaptive regulation? Why does it matter? How can it be measured, and how can regulation be made more adaptive? I answer each of these four questions.
