CC 12

Description

Algorithms are increasingly pervasive in our lives and firms increasingly rely on algorithms in their daily activities for pricing and planning purposes. Can algorithms enhance firms’ performances? Can they harm consumers? Can they be used to fix prices or to exclude competitors? What can competition authorities and regulators do to mitigate these risks? This panel of international experts from academia and enforcement agencies discussed these and other fascinating legal and policy questions around algorithms.
