The Luxembourg competition authority has played a significant role in the fifth annual 'Stanford Computational Antitrust' report, which compiles insights from 30 competition authorities worldwide regarding the use of data, digital tools, and artificial intelligence in antitrust enforcement.

This report provides a unique perspective on how competition authorities are adapting to increasingly digital and data-driven markets. The Luxembourg authority shared its ongoing experiences and reflections on developing digital capabilities to support its work in a rapidly evolving environment.

In its contribution, the authority highlighted current initiatives aimed at improving the handling of large volumes of information, enhancing data analysis capabilities, and exploring the appropriate use of artificial intelligence within a public authority responsible for enforcing competition law.

Moreover, the authority emphasized the importance of human oversight, data protection, transparency, and accountability when considering the deployment of new technologies. All digital or AI-based tools under development are intended to assist investigators, while legal assessments, analysis, and decision-making remain firmly in human hands.

By participating in this international report, the Luxembourg competition authority contributes to the global exchange of knowledge and best practices regarding the responsible use of digital tools in competition law enforcement.
