Holland & Knight mentioned ICLE in an article on the legal issues raised by agreements among AI companies to slow development for safety reasons. The piece examines the antitrust risks of coordinating development timelines and the legal options for joint safety research. Read the full piece here.

Separately, the International Center for Law and Economics (ICLE) submitted comments observing that antitrust uncertainty is actively discouraging frontier AI firms from pursuing joint safety initiatives. ICLE specifically referenced the 2025 joint safety evaluation conducted by OpenAI and Anthropic, an arrangement that was limited to publicly released models, as evidence that deeper collaboration on pre-deployment safety testing is being constrained by antitrust concerns.
