Dr. Chris Pike, Partner and Head of Digital Markets at Fideres,  contributed to an Expert Workshop on Algorithmic Rents and Competition at UCL’s Institute for Innovation and Public Policy, alongside Mariana Mazzucato, Michael Jacobides, Cristina Caffarra, and representatives of the CMA, Ofcom and the FCA. The workshop looked at how digital platform monopolies harm competition, and in particular the idea that exploitative abuse of dominance is no longer just about excessive pricing, but can extend to excessively poor quality in the algorithms offered by tech monopolists.
