The Verge AI published the Decoder podcast episode on the future of business and debates around AI safety and regulation. This is the first part of an announced two-part series.
The guest was Jonathan Kantor, former head of the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice under the Biden administration. He now teaches law at WashU and technology policy at Carnegie Mellon.
The synopsis describes the episode as a discussion of the intersection of AI, competition, and regulation. The full transcript and the participants' concrete proposals are not provided in the materials.

Why it matters
The likely meaning of the release is to raise the question of balancing AI safety and competition rules. The next verifiable signal will be the content of the full conversation or the second part of the series. Substantial uncertainty remains: only a synopsis is provided, with no concrete positions and proposals from participants.
