    The Future of Pricing Algorithm Enforcement? California’s AB 325

    California recently passed AB 325, a landmark update to the Cartwright Act—and this week on The Hub and Spoke, we break it all down. Our guest is Lee Hepner, Senior Legal Counsel at the American Economic Liberties Project, who played a key role in shepherding AB 325 through the California legislature.

    Gene Burrus on Google, AI, and the Future of Antitrust

    What do the Google Search case, Microsoft’s browser wars, and AI regulation all have in common? More than you might think.
