The next article, “Harmonizing Competition Regulations and Data Privacy Laws in the Era of Artificial Intelligence,” delves deep into analysing competition concerns in the context of artificial intelligence and the newly enacted data privacy laws in the country, namely, the Digital Data Protection Act, 2023 (DDP Act). The author herein contends that addressing anti-competitive data extraction solely through the Competition Act is not feasible and suggests the need to acknowledge the confluence of privacy and anti-trust concerns. He explores the concept of anti-competitive data collection and reports the limitations of the oft-quoted Wolfgang-Zolna Hypothesis (from the German Facebook Case.) He additionally draws solutions by analysing legal frameworks like the EU Digital Markets Act and argues for implementing responsible and mandatory data sharing under the Competition Act, and the segmentation of consent in certain cases under the DDP Act
