Is “industrial policy” really back? Giovanni Dosi argues it’s mostly a dystopian reboot, more zero-sum than visionary-oriented strategy. Our new NLR–ICLE special issue starts with a bang.

Industrial policy is back in fashion. From AI to semiconductors, governments are rethinking the balance between intervention and competition.

This new issue (with ICLE) explores this tension. Read the introduction 👉 www.networklawreview.org/special-issu...

The EU's "future-proof" AI regulation is a fantasy. AI evolves through emergent properties—GPT-1 to GPT-4 was metamorphosis, not iteration. We need future-responsive regulation, not monuments By @profschrepel.bsky.social at @networklawreview.bsky.social

The EU says its AI rules are “future proof.” They’re not, @profschrepel.bsky.social argues. Without adaptive regulation (modular rules, real-time monitoring, plural triggers, institutional memory) Brussels (and others!) will always be behind the curve. www.networklawreview.org/schrepel-fut...

What if competition law had to be personalized, i.e., tailored to firms, sectors, even algorithms? Adrian Kuenzler (University of Hong Kong) argues AI forces us to abandon one-size-fits-all enforcement. The age of bespoke antitrust is here
