Stucke wins Antitrust Writing Award for artificial intelligence article - University of Tennessee College of Law

Maurice Stucke, a professor at the University of Tennessee College of Law and a former trial attorney with the US Department of Justice's Antitrust Division, recently received a 2016 Antitrust Writing Award for a legal article regarding artificial intelligence. The article, "Artificial Intelligence & Collusion: When Computers Inhibit Competition"--co-authored with Oxford University Faculty of Law Professor Ariel Ezrachi--discusses the challenging legal and ethical questions that are emerging as artificial intelligence development and implementation throughout society continues to develop at an accelerating rate. Artificial intelligence is "set to change the competitive landscape and the nature of competitive restraints," Stucke and Ezrachi write. "We are shifting from the world where executives expressly collude in smoke-filled hotel rooms to a world where pricing algorithms continually monitor and adjust to each other's prices and market data." Stucke and Ezrachi have frequently collaborated on intersectional issues concerning law and technology.
