AIAI companies reportedly face antitrust suit over “pacing the frontier” efforts
A user reporting the suit questions whether the public statements and private meetings alleged in the complaint plausibly establish an agreement to “pace the frontier” yet.
TLDR
In a September 19 post, a user said AI companies were being sued under antitrust law over “pacing the frontier” efforts. In a follow-up, the author questioned whether the allegations plausibly establish an agreement, emphasizing that what was actually agreed would be key. The author argues that coordination presents a real challenge under the Sherman Act, citing a Supreme Court case that rejected engineers’ defense of competitive-bidding restrictions on safety grounds. Still, the author cautions that this does not make safety collaboration categorically unlawful.
