Kroger CEO pins price increases on rising costs at trial
Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen attributed rising grocery prices to increased costs for retailers during a trial defending the company's proposed $25 billion merger with Albertsons. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission and several states are challenging the merger, arguing it could lead to higher prices and reduced bargaining power for unionized workers. McMullen denied that Kroger would raise prices post-merger, emphasizing the importance of competitive pricing. The merger is seen as a strategy to compete with Walmart, while Albertsons warned of potential layoffs if the deal fails.

Why AI Regulations Are Poised To Expand in 2022
Artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies are expected to face new regulations in 2022 due to their expanding use across industries. Industry experts predict that governments will address concerns ranging from ethical data analysis to cybersecurity. The U.S. and other nations are likely to focus on data privacy laws, with potential broad standards to manage the complexity of compliance. The finance industry, already heavily regulated, will be a key focus due to its adoption of AI technologies and the ethical implications involved. The European Commission's proposed Artificial Intelligence Regulation is in the legislative process, with regulations possibly being published in 2023. Meanwhile, the Federal Trade Commission in the U.S. has issued an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. The growth of AI and data analysis markets, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, is also driving startups to focus on ethical AI and regulation-enabling tools.

Atrium Health and Wake Forest Baptist Health Plan to Merge Amid Concerns
Atrium Health and Wake Forest Baptist Health are planning to consolidate, following Atrium's failed merger with UNC Health Care and recent acquisitions. Health economists warn that such mergers can lead to higher healthcare costs and reduced quality for patients. The proposed merger faces legal scrutiny from the Federal Trade Commission and the N.C. Attorney General's office. Atrium, a hospital authority, is limited by state law in its expansion but has grown through acquisitions outside North Carolina. The merger's impact on Charlotte's medical education, including the potential for a new medical school, is also discussed. Critics argue that a new school may not address the physician shortage and suggest alternative solutions like residency programs. The article includes insights from health economists Dr. Ashish Jha and Dr. Kevin Schulman, as well as health policy researcher Erin Fraher.

Notice and Choice Cannot Stand Alone
The article critiques the 'Notice and Choice' approach to privacy regulation, highlighting its shortcomings due to complex and overwhelming privacy notices and lack of enforcement. It argues for the integration of notice and choice with strong privacy laws and automated tools like Global Privacy Control (GPC), which is gaining traction under laws like the California Consumer Privacy Act. The text discusses past initiatives like the Platform for Privacy Preferences Project (P3P) and Do Not Track (DNT), noting their failures due to lack of incentives and enforcement. It emphasizes the need for standardized technology frameworks and legal mandates to make automated privacy tools effective, suggesting that with proper support, notice and choice could still play a valuable role in privacy protection.

OpenAI's Boardroom Drama Reflects AI's Governance Challenge
The article discusses the governance challenges faced by OpenAI, particularly in light of its rapid growth and the influence of AI technology. It highlights the tension between nonprofit missions and commercial interests, as well as the need for robust governance mechanisms. The recent boardroom drama at OpenAI coincides with regulatory developments, such as the US Federal Trade Commission's new powers to investigate AI companies and the EU's ongoing negotiations over the AI Act. The article also touches on the debate over whether foundational AI models should be regulated. The situation at OpenAI has raised questions about the effectiveness of self-regulation and the need for government intervention. The reinstatement of Sam Altman as CEO after a board dispute is seen as a sign that AI companies may be moving towards more conventional business models, with a focus on investor returns. Microsoft's involvement with OpenAI is also noted, with CEO Satya Nadella expressing a desire to avoid future surprises from the board.

Antitrust clearance for Exxon-Pioneer merger could be positive for other deals
The US Federal Trade Commission approved Exxon Mobil's $68.1 billion acquisition of Pioneer Natural Resources, with conditions preventing Scott Sheffield from serving on Exxon's boards. This decision is seen as a positive signal for other pending oil and gas mergers, despite concerns about regulatory scrutiny. Analysts suggest the approval may reflect the Biden administration's strategic interests in influencing oil production. The merger, which gives Exxon significant production in the Permian Basin, occurs amid a wave of energy sector M&A activity, potentially accelerated by upcoming elections and regulatory uncertainties.

Apple Resuming Sales of Its Newest Smartwatches, for Now
Apple resumed sales of its newest smartwatches, the Apple Watch Series 9 and Watch Ultra 2, after a federal appeals court temporarily reversed a ban on their import and sale in the United States. The ban was initially imposed due to a patent infringement case involving Masimo and Cercacor Laboratories. The Biden administration chose not to veto the ruling, making it final, but the appeals court has paused enforcement while considering Apple's appeal. The legal battle, which may affect other Apple Watch models using similar technology, will determine the long-term availability of these products in the U.S.

Phillips airs concerns about US Federal Trade Commission priorities under its new leadership
Noah Phillips, a centrist Republican on the US Federal Trade Commission, expresses both support and concern for new Chair Lina Khan's bold regulatory agenda. While he appreciates Khan's intelligence and some of her initiatives, he worries that her aggressive antitrust and privacy policies may alienate experienced staff and undermine effective tools like the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. Phillips advocates for strategic implementation and maintaining staff morale to achieve the FTC's goals. He also supports a single national privacy law over state-level regulations and calls for careful scrutiny of tech giants' mergers without overly restrictive measures. The article highlights the mixed reactions to Khan's leadership within the FTC and the broader regulatory community.

Europe’s Big Tech Hawks Brace for a Post-Biden Future
The outcome of the upcoming US election holds significant implications for Europe, particularly in terms of NATO funding, a potential peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, and the future of big tech regulation. Under President Biden, the US aligned with the EU in confronting major tech companies like Meta, Microsoft, and Nvidia. However, the potential shift in US leadership could alter this dynamic. Kamala Harris' ties to Silicon Valley and her stance on antitrust issues are under scrutiny, while Trump's approach remains ambiguous. The EU's Digital Markets Act aims to limit tech giants' influence, but its enforcement would benefit from US cooperation. The article highlights the complex political landscape surrounding big tech regulation and the potential impact of the US election on transatlantic relations.

The withdrawal of previous guidelines has left a void, creating uncertainty for companies. Despite these challenges, companies can still pursue ESG collaborations by adhering to antitrust best practices, documenting procompetitive benefits, and seeking guidance through business review letters or advisory opinions.

The FDA has stated there is no solid science to back claims that CBD can treat conditions such as autism, acne, ADHD, and various other diseases. Rooted Apothecary, based in Naples, Florida, has been cited for illegal sale of unapproved products, misbranding, and making unsubstantiated advertising claims. The FDA is working to clarify regulations for cannabis-derived products and stresses the importance of protecting public health by monitoring the market. Rooted Apothecary has been given 15 days to address the violations related to the FTC Act and the FD&C Act.
