AI and Gen AI are expected to not only improve productivity but also transform how sectors are organized, reshaping competition and in particular ecosystem dynamics. While the structure of competition among AI-producing actors is still at an early stage, it has already raised significant concerns in terms of its competitive implications. AI providers, trough acquisitions and partnerships, are part and parcel of BigTech ecosystems including Microsoft and Amazon. In the US, the EU, and the UK, competition authorities have begun to express concerns about competition issues in the emerging AI competitive landscape that could affect consumers, with particular concerns on how powerful incumbent firms could profoundly shape AI markets in their own interests. Beyond competition in AI, the more pertinent question is how AI will reshape the sectoral landscape beyond tech itself, and how it will redraw the map in sectors from advertising to law and consulting. This raises both strategy and policy questions our field should grapple with. This PDW aspires to expose scholars in the AoM, who do not usually engage with policy-makers, with regulators, industry leaders and key academics to debate how AI changes competition and ecosystem dynamics. This will inform those interested in the impact of AI innovation, and in the strategy and policy questions that arise. Our goal is to connect policy-makers with some of the leading scholarly voices and encourage others to develop actionable research whose output will affect the evolution of policy and strategy in this critical context.
