A generative AI platform is a tool that uses artificial intelligence to create or generate new data or information, such as text, images, sound, and so on. This technology has become increasingly popular due to its wide range of potential applications in the fields of healthcare, finance, retail, media and entertainment, and more. The article argues that although ownership models for these platforms have yet to be established, one thing is clear: they are becoming more powerful with their ability to produce new material quickly and at scale. It is important for organizations to consider ownership models when looking into the development of such systems as this could be a crucial factor in their success. Factors such as intellectual property rights, licensing agreements and system architecture may ultimately shape who will own these generative AI platforms—whether it’s ownership by the developers themselves or by companies that build them. As generative AI technology continues to evolve, organizations must stay abreast of changing models and regulations so they can capitalize on this emerging technology while protecting their interests.

On February 26, 2024, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), alongside Attorneys General from eight states and the District of Columbia, initiated legal action to block Kroger's $24.6 billion acquisition of Albertsons. The complaint raises traditional concerns typical of challenges to mergers of horizontal competitors, but it also raises two notable arguments that showcase the Biden Administration's signature approach to antitrust—first, the FTC alleges harm to competition for union grocery labor, and second, it rejects the companies' proposed divestitures and treats them as irrelevant to the merger review.

In a funding notice announced by the DoE Wednesday, the dept's Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC) said it was seeking proposals from US-based companies to "boost domestic battery manufacturing and supply chains to effectively support the clean energy transition." Those proposals making the grade will get a slice of the funds.
