The Senate Judiciary Committee has reintroduced the American Innovation and Choice Online Act (AICOA), a bill that would impose sweeping new restrictions on leading U.S. technology companies. While supporters claim the legislation would boost competition, it would make it harder for companies to improve products, integrate services, and deliver the features consumers value.
What has changed in the latest version of the bill? How does AICOA depart from the principles that have long guided U.S. antitrust law? And what would its passage mean for innovation, consumers, and America’s ability to compete in the global technology race?
PPI’s Diana Moss is speaking on ITIF’s Schumpeter Project on Competition Policy for a webinar featuring leading experts examining the legislation, discussing its likely consequences, and explaining why AICOA could undermine American technology leadership without delivering meaningful benefits for competition.
