The US Justice Department is intensifying its focus on antitrust enforcement in key sectors, including artificial intelligence and healthcare. Top officials have announced the formation of a new task force aimed at addressing monopolies and collusion in the healthcare industry. This move is part of a broader strategy to ensure competitive practices, particularly as Big Tech companies invest billions of dollars in AI technologies, a key area of competition with Beijing. Jonathan Kanter, speaking at a PostLive event, emphasized the need for remedies that preserve competition and prevent monopoly chokepoints, ensuring consumers benefit from lower prices.
