Competition vs. ConcentrationThe central issue is cognitive design alignment.

At the OECD Competition Open Day 2026, policymakers, economists, regulators, and industry leaders raised a central question: is AI increasing competition, or concentration?

The discussion showed that technical scale is not enough. Systems must also align with regional meaning and human interpretation to build trust.

This connects with ViSP-Lab research on human–AI interaction and regional trust engineering, as well as with Professor Catherine Tucker’s work at MIT CSAIL on digital markets and human decision-making in AI use.
