Warren Calls for AI Antitrust Scrutiny, Deal Review Revamp

Published Friday, June 26, 2026 · 3:50 PM EDT

Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren urged Congress on Wednesday to increase antitrust enforcement on emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and to revamp merger law to require greater public disclosure of information during deal reviews. Speaking in Washington, Warren said corporations do not receive an exemption from antitrust rules simply because they employ algorithms. The comments, reported by Bloomberg on June 24, 2026, focused on the need for updated oversight as companies integrate AI into business practices. Warren called for more transparency in the merger review process without specifying particular legislation or enforcement actions. The remarks align with her prior positions on competition policy but were limited to the AI and deal review topics in this address.
