On September 24, we submitted our response to the European Commission’s consultation on Artificial Intelligence in the context of the Digital Markets Act review. The consultation aimed to gather views on how European regulation can support fair and contestable digital markets in the AI sector.
In our submission, we acknowledge that the DMA’s framework already provides a basis for addressing competitive concerns in AI–particularly when AI systems are integrated into an existing Core Platform Service (CPS), such as search engines. However, to effectively regulate the evolving AI landscape, we propose to extend this approach.
We recommend two key changes. Firstly, foundation models should be designated as Core Platform Services, so that concentrations of power in AI can be better addressed. Secondly, bottlenecks related to data should be tackled through greater data transparency, mandatory third-party access to training data held by gatekeeper companies, and improved data portability between AI platforms.
