Antitrust, Meta and addictive design: Will AI companions be next?

Senior Associate Giulia Trojano was recently a guest on Our Lives with Bots, a show on the societal implications of AI companions hosted by Rose Guingrich and Angy Watson.

Recorded one day after LA jurors found Meta liable for its addictive design features, Giulia discusses in plain terms what these findings mean for companies developing AI companions and for wider litigation strategies against Big Tech.

She also discusses her paper “Rights against erasure” and how the concept might prevent AI companion companies from misleading their users.

Finally, Giulia explains how competition law – by levelling the playing fields – fosters innovation across the board.
