Does AI need an antitrust exemption so it doesn’t kill everyone????

Former DOJ antitrust chief Jonathan Kanter discusses the current AI safety debate, noting that researchers at Anthropic and Google DeepMind have resigned over safety concerns and that CEOs of major AI labs are calling for antitrust exemptions to coordinate safety efforts. Kanter highlights accusations that these companies may be forming a cartel and that such exemptions could shield them from investor pressure before IPOs. He also references his past antitrust victories against Google, Apple, and Ticketmaster and the recent bipartisan debate over whether antitrust law should apply to AI firms.
