  1. Press Gazette: UK publishers urge CMA to curb Google as search giant claims AI does them no harm. “News publishers have disputed a claim from Google that using their content to ‘fine-tune’ its AI models contains ‘no realistic prospect of harm’ to them. ‘Fine-tuning’ enables an AI model that has already been trained to add new data to respond to a specific prompt or task.”

  3. Although you may have heard that the Competition & Markets Authority is requiring vets to publicise prices & ownership (and noting that prescribed drugs may be cheaper elsewhere), this is not really gong to trouble the private equity oligopoly (the six firms that now operate 60% of all vets).

    The (now de-fanged) CMA has given them a pretty easy ride, and if this is how their 'intervention' in dentistry goes, then don't expect any major shifts in that sector either.

  10. Labour has decided in its 'reform' of the Competition & Market Authority (that rules on whether mergers can go ahead) to include removal of the independent panel that judges whether mergers might be/are anti-competitive.

    So once again, we are in a situation where the Govt. would prefer business to mark its own homework (because that's how you 'support' economic growth, natch) and reduce/halt independent scrutiny.

    Whether they will stick with it is another Q.?
