Antitrust enforcement in the United States is undergoing a notable change as technology reshapes how companies compete. Long-standing antitrust statutes remain the foundation, but their application is evolving due to new technologies such as artificial intelligence, digital platforms, and algorithmic decision-making. To understand how federal and state regulators are approaching these developments as well as the direction antitrust policy is heading, Washington CORE spoke with Jeff Jacobovitz, chair of the Antitrust Group  at Arnall Golden Gregory LLP, former Federal Trade Commissioner attorney, and vice chair of the American Bar Association’s Antitrust Law Section’s Joint Conduct Committee. 

Drawing on his insights, this article outlines the core U.S. antitrust framework and federal agency roles, examines the current administration’s enforcement approach, and reviews Big Tech and algorithmic pricing cases and international responses.
