Published by the AI Now Institute in June 2025 (authored by Kate Brennan, Amba Kak, and Sarah Myers West), this policy-oriented report argues that AI's rapid integration into products and infrastructure is consolidating power among a small number of technology firms, and that narratives around AGI and "inevitable" AI adoption obscure structural market concentration. It closes with a set of specific policy recommendations.
The report's explicit focus on market concentration, distinct from the more common framing of AI risk in terms of model capability or safety, has made it a frequently cited reference in antitrust and competition-policy discussions of the AI sector.
