Project Week "AI meets Antitrust"
As part of the “AI meets Antitrust” project week, our research fellows Julius Krüger and Dominik Mieskes worked with students from the TUM School of Management to develop LLM-based screening pipelines that systematically search corporate communications for patterns that indicate possible antitrust violations.
To this end, several datasets, each containing over 5,000 synthetic emails, were generated and curated to create a robust basis for testing and benchmarking. Carefully implemented, such AI pipelines can automate certain legal processes, allowing lawyers to focus more on particularly complex and demanding tasks. During the presentation and testing of the developed AI pipelines, the German Federal Competition Authority, represented by Dr. Hendrik Beiler, contributed a practical perspective.
