Assistant Attorney General Gail Slater addressed key themes at the 52nd Annual Conference hosted by the Fordham Competition Law Institute, focusing on the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence. Her keynote, titled “Winning the Race in Artificial Intelligence Through Real Competition,” recognized AI as a defining technological frontier that promises to revolutionize all economic sectors and reshape business operations.
Slater stressed the importance of maintaining a competitive, innovation-friendly environment in the U.S. economy, highlighting efforts by former President Trump and Vice President Vance to prioritize American dominance in AI. She emphasized that fostering startups, supporting new technologies, and preserving open markets remain core to sustaining U.S. economic strength.
